After an emotional return, a Leicester City great writes the Blue Army, “With me forever.”Following his return to the King Power Stadium with Bristol City on Saturday, Andy King posted an emotional message to the club and its supporters on Twitter.
Andy King, a legendary member of Leicester City, has remarked that the welcome he received upon returning to the King Power Stadium will “live with me forever.” King was the first and only player to win the League One, Championship, and Premier League championships with the same club. He spent 16 years with the club and made over 375 first team appearances.
He made a comeback on Saturday, playing for Nigel Pearson’s Bristol City team in their 1-0 loss thanks to a Jamie Vardy penalty.
Aside from the on-field action, King, Pearson, Matty James, and Dave Rennie were making an emotional comeback. When King raced out to warm up in front of the West Stand and Family Stand, he was greeted with a standing ovation and the cry “King, King, Andy Andy King,” which has reverberated throughout the stadium countless times. When he thanked the home supporters following the game, he received a similar response.
In a post on the social media site X following the match, King stated that the emotions he experienced will never leave him and that words “cannot do justice” to the support he got. At the King Power Stadium, the 34-year-old was clearly crying.
“Leicester City, words don’t always do a feeling or circumstance justice, yesterday was one of those afternoons,” he wrote. I could not have anticipated the welcome you gave me, and the emotions I experienced then will always be a part of me.
