Wed just been promoted, so, from the outset, we knew we were in for a long, tough season. For this Leicester team, its all come as a bit of a shock. Quite a few, including the players, have been caught off guard.

Micky Adams brought in a host of players ahead of that 2003-04 season. The squad was full. Most of us had plenty of Premier League experience but coming to the end of our careers, the likes of Les Ferdinand and Paul Dickov. We had good, steady players but not many match-winners.
