Sad to Say but I Regrets Leaving Leicester: “It Always Feel Like Home” Former Star Player in Tears after Recounting on his Career
Former Leicester City midfielder Andy King has opened up about one of the toughest decisions of his career — leaving the Foxes. In a recent interview, King admitted that moving away from the King Power Stadium still feels like a mistake, emotionally if not professionally.
Having spent over a decade at Leicester, King was part of the club’s incredible rise from League One to Premier League champions in 2016 — an achievement that cemented his legacy in the club’s history. “Leicester wasn’t just a club for me, it was family,” King confessed. “Leaving felt like walking away from home.”
Since his departure, the Welsh international has played for several other clubs, but he admits none have matched the bond he shared with Leicester supporters and teammates. “You can’t recreate that atmosphere, that unity. What we had at Leicester was once in a lifetime.”
Now retired, King remains a beloved figure among the Foxes faithful. His reflections remind fans of the loyalty and spirit that defined Leicester’s golden era. While his playing days are behind him, King’s heart — and perhaps a little regret — will forever remain at the King Power.
