Muzzy Izzet

A full Turkish international, Muzzy was part of the international line up that that reached the World Cup semi finals in 2002.

One of the most popular players to have graced Filbert Street and the Walkers Stadium, Muzzy Izzet will go down with many as the catalyst that sparked a revolution at Leicester City.

Brought in as a deadline-day loanee by then manager Martin O'Neill, Muzzy made his debut as a substitute in the 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Sheffield United. However, the Mile End-born midfielder was named in the starting XI for City's following game against Charlton - and the rest, as they say, is history.

A last-gasp play-off winner from Steve Claridge gave the Foxes an unlikely route back to the Premiership - and O'Neill was able to secure Izzet's permanent signature from Chelsea with some of the spoils.

His ensuing eight-year love affair with the club brought glory and despair to the likable Londoner, experiencing the highs of two League Cup triumphs and European football and the lows of relegation and administration.

In fact Muzzy would have one of his best seasons for the club when the chips were down, carrying the team through the mire to win promotion back to the Premiership under Micky Adams against all the odds.

But the Foxes would lose their top-flight status again the following season, and with it arguably their best player. Muzzy would choose to join Birmingham after turning down the attentions of Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, and after a frustrating two seasons that were been blighted through injury,Muzzy was unfortunateley forced to retire in the summer of 2006.
