King vacates throne after 17 years as a professional

The news that Andy King, one of the most distinguished players in Leicester City's history, is to retire as a player at the end of the current season, came as little surprise to members of the Blue Army.

Currently at Bristol City, the club of his boyhood affections, the 35-year-old Wales midfielder has made just 14 league appearances during the current campaign and it was clear he did not feature in the future plans of boss Liam Manning.

Fans and former managers alike have been quick to pay online tributes to a player whose remarkable achievements during his time at Leicester lifted him to legend status.

After being released from Chelsea’s academy at the age of 15, King found another route into professional football at what was then the Walkers Stadium. To say he made the most of that opportunity would be a huge understatement.

The first signs that his career would be far from the ordinary came when he helped City lift the Premier Academy League title in 2007, beating a Sunderland team that itself fielded several future Premier stars, including Jordan Henderson, who himself would enjoy a notable career with Liverpool and England.

At that time, few believed that the senior crown would ever join its junior counterpart in the Foxes’ trophy cabinet, particularly when City’s first team were relegated to League One the following year.  By that time, King had progressed into the senior squad, but made a limited impact during a tumultuous and troubled campaign.

However, under the auspices of new manager Nigel Pearson, King was able to play a key role in City’s revival, gaining a regular berth in a side which swept to the League One title at the first time of asking, and maintained its momentum after its return to the Championship. During this time, he also gained the first of his 50 caps for Wales, the country of his grandfather’s birth.

Despite Pearson’s departure in summer 2010, following a particularly cruel playoff exit at Cardiff, King’s progress continued under Sven-Goran Eriksson, in a campaign which saw him finish as City’s top scorer and earn a place in the Championship team of the season. However, the impact of a rapid turnover of players during this period eventually told on both the team and King himself, and a string of indifferent results in 2011-12 heralded the end of the Eriksson era at City.

Even Pearson’s return to Leicester could not stop King’s career from entering a prolonged period of stagnation, which was a contributory factor towards two further failed promotion campaigns.  By the time City finally returned to the top flight in 2014, he was no longer a regular first-team starter, though the demands of a gruelling season ensured he still played a key role within the squad.

Many media pundits, together with a section of City’s own fanbase, were less than convinced that the team as a whole, and King in particular, would be able to withstand the rigours of Premier League football.  Indeed, for the first three-quarters of the 2014-15 season, neither team nor player did much to dispel such doubts.

But a switch to a three-man midfield, reputedly at the insistence of veteran Argentine signing Esteban Cambiasso, helped to bring a dramatic improvement in form.  King rediscovered the goal touch which had appeared to desert him, and his late winner against West Ham, coupled with another strike against Swansea in the following home match, helped to provide the impetus for one of the most improbable escapes from relegation in Premier League history.

This proved to be merely the opening chapter for one of the most incredible fairytales in the history of sport, with City making light of the departures of both Cambiasso and Pearson to launch an unlikely - and ultimately successful - bid for the title. 

Although King often played second fiddle to the midfield duo of Danny Drinkwater and the hitherto-unheralded N’Golo Kanté, his deployment as an auxiliary midfielder to protect crucial leads during the closing stages of many City victories throughout this heroic campaign, proved one of many masterstrokes by the maestro Claudio Ranieri. 

King thus became the first (and to date, the only) player in the Premier League era to win league winners’ medals at each of the top three levels. His goal against Everton in the final home game of the Premier title season provided particular delight for the City faithful.

He managed to continue this success at international level that summer, helping Wales to reach the semi-finals of the European Championships for the first time.

However, although he featured in the Foxes' run to the Champions League quarter-finals the following season, his career suffered a distinct downturn in the subsequent years. Increasingly marginalised at Leicester, King endured a series of unsuccessful loan spells at various clubs before finally leaving the King Power Stadium in 2020, though he still managed to set a record (later surpassed by Kasper Schmeichel) as the City player with the most international appearances.

But just as it appeared King would be lost to the game, Bristol City offered him the opportunity - which he eagerly took - to rebuild his career and realise further childhood ambitions. As a consequence, during the past three seasons, he has played a significant role in the consolidation of the Robins' status as a Championship club.

As he brings down the curtain on a distinguished playing career, King can look back with pride on his numerous achievements during the past 17 years. Not only has he lived the dream, he has played a full and active part in bringing others to life.

Many in the game, whether fans or colleagues, will wish him well in whatever he chooses to do in the future.

01. Green witch

The Green Witch embraces nature by drawing on the energies from the earth and of untamed things. They commune with the land, with stones and gems and they reley on plants, flowers and herbs. They call to nature for guidance and respects every living being and they have a strong belief that humans must give back to world and protect it. They tend to be animal/environmental activists and they will go the extra mile to spread awareness.

The Green Witch makes their own ritual tools from found objects in nature and they make sure these are ethically sourced materials. They might also work with Animal Guides and Plant Spirits. The forest is the Green Witch's sacred temple and they often spend time hiking or visiting parks and gardens.

Books I recommend:

The Green Witch ~ Arin Murphy-Hiscock

Encyclopaedia of Magical Herbs ~ Scott Cunningham

Occult Botany ~ Paul Sedir

The Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic ~ Christina Oakley Harrington

Wortcunning ~ Nigel G. Pearson

02. Crystal Witch

Crystal Witches focus their magick on healing and manifesting. Crystals are known for their healing energies due to their ability to raise one's own vibration. Crystals emit this constant vibration, that when met with a lower vibration, has the ability to raise, in turn, providing healing qualities through an energetic level, which can therefore fast track our own physical healing.

Crystal Witches may also be drawn to rocks and stones alike and generally appreciate the gift of nature. They may also be attracted to the study of geology and often work with chakras/practice chakra meditation.

Books I recommend:

The Power of Crystal Healing ~ Emma Lucy Knowles

The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Crystals ~ Cassie Uhl

Crystals for Witches ~ Eliza Mabelle

03. Kitchen Witch

The Kitchen Witch’s potion is a soup and they’re magical wand is a trusty wooden spoon. Cooking becomes a sacred art for the Kitchen Witch. A Kitchen Witch may not often dedicate a specific time and resources to ceremony, instead they work intuitively rather than ritually to find the magic in everyday life.

Kitchen Witches personalise their space with great intention and care. They instantly know when a space resonates with them or not. They often cook with whole, organic foods and they may also grow their own food. They also tend to enchant ingrediants before using them in a dish and they might sometimes make dishes to treat illnesses.

Books I recommend:

Potions, Elixirs & Brews ~ Anais Alexandre

The Wicca Cookbook ~ Jamie Wood & Tara Seefeldt

Wicca in the Kitchen ~ Scott Cunningham

The Magick of Food ~ Gwion Raven

`04. Sea Witch

A sea witch is a practitioner of witchcraft whose spiritual focus and magical practices are closely tied to the sea and its elements. They use the potent energy of the ocean as a force to drive spellcraft, cleanse the soul and renew the spirit. Sea Witches forge a deep bond with the sea and its inhabitants, working with its energy to manifest their intentions and achieve their goals.

Sea Witches are naturally sensitive and empathetic. The ocean is their sacred space and often times they might live near the ocean or are very drawn to it. They are also very drawn to stroms and enjoy the rain. They might study oceanic mythology and sea animals. They also often collect seashells, pebbles or other beach treasures and may use them in their craft.

Books I recommend:

Sea Witch's Companion ~ Levannah Morgan

Sea Magic ~ Sandra Kynes

Water Witchcraft ~ Annwyn Avalon

Mermaids ~ Skye Alexander

05. Divination Witch

The Divination Witch focuses primarily on divination practices such as tarot & oracle, pendulum, scrying, runes, tea leaf reading, meditation, and connecting to your inner guides/higher being. To them, it’s most important to incorporate these divination practices to their everyday life, or at least in ceremonial rituals.

A Divination Witch may draw power from the earthly elements, mediation, or with the help of seasonal changes that open portals and lower the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds. For those highly in-tuned with their intuition, have the ability to hear, see, or sense what others can’t, find themselves as an empath, and have the uncanny ability to predict the future.

Books I recommend:

The Book of Divination ~ Michael Johnstone

I Ching or Book of Changes ~ C.G. Jung & Richard Wilhelm

Tarot Card Meanings ~ Brigit Esselmont

Chakra Healing ~ Margarita Alcantara

06. Lunar/Cosmic Witch

A Lunar Witch has a fascination and connection with the skies, stars, moon and planets are unparalleled. With the fundamental belief that what happens above in the cosmos is a direct correlation to what happens on Earth, Cosmic Witches focus their study on astrological transits, moon phases, and intertwining that with their own natal birth charts. A strong belief is that as we are born, we are given a blueprint, a snapshot of the skies, that presents past, present and future forecasts of not only ourselves as an individual, but as a collective, sometimes generational viewpoint too.

They draw their power from the Moon and perform certain spells and rituals depending on the phase of the moon.

On the Wheel of the Year being a mess

I thought I would elaborate on this outside of a single reply.

Obviously if you find meaning in the holidays (and many do) then continue to celebrate. I'm not trying to be like "no one observe the WotY anymore, I just think it's important to be honest about its history and implications.

The Wheel of the Year is neither ancient nor Celtic, of the eight festivals, most have Irish names, but at least three are Germanic (Ostara, Midsummer, Yule, and Lammas if referred to as such and not Lughnasad) no single culture celebrated all of them, and yet they are often presented as "ancient Celtic festivals".

In addition, despite claims that these festivals are ancient, the ways that Wiccans and other Pagans celebrate often bear no resemblance to how the same festivals are celebrated in their home countries. Beltaine is not a wild sex party, it's a fire festival concerned with protecting people and livestock. Ostara is probably made up, it's based on bad etymology (from Grimm) based on a single reference from a monk (Bede) who was like "this month is named for a goddess" and there's absolutely no evidence this goddess ever existed. The other holiday I'm suspicious of is Mabon, if only because we know the name for the festival came from Aidan Kelly. Individual holidays often get mashed together simply because they occur around the same time (Beltaine/May Day and Lughnasad/Lammas for instance) and treated as basically the same thing despite....being different holidays.

So my one issue with the Wheel is that it's taken festivals from multiple characters and run them through a blender, but there are lots of posts written on this already. I think it's also important to discuss the implications when we act as if the WotY is a universal "Pagan" calendar.

The Wheel of the Year really only makes sense if you're in certain parts of Europe (okay, the U.K.) and bits of North America with four distinct seasons. If you live in an area with two seasons, if you live in a desert climate, if you think I'm making stuff up when I talk about snow, heck, if you live in an area that doesn't herd sheep or grow wheat, parts of the Wheel of the Year will just not have any relevance to you. I complain every year that Imbolc is the most nonsensical holiday because where I live everything is still under five feet of snow and I am not thinking about spring or lambing season (as I do not own sheep). Yes I know "Oh it's anticipating spring!" Anticipate the snow I am throwing at you.

I also feel like there's such a focus on the Wheel that people think they *have* to observe it instead of whatever's going on in their local area, or traditions their ancestors might have observed. This is something I can understand because who wants to be alone celebrating Mârtişor when you could wait and celebrate Ostara with everyone?

I think where this becomes especially annoying is when you have folks who get pissed because they're celebrating Samhain and how dare you eat candy and have fun on my sacred holiday! Your ancestors are probably annoyed with you because you aren't giving them sweets. You might be celebrating a holiday that is actually quite old but how dare you do something different than they do on their frankenfestival!

Some food for thought on the subject is the book Walking the Tides by Nigel G. Pearson. It is a very British book talking specifically about the year in that part of the world, so while it might not be relevant to you, it does make some good points about observing nature, how folklore ties into celebrations, and the like. As I said, it's specific, but it's still interesting.

L'AFC Bournemouth a obtenu les services du milieu de terrain de Bristol City, Alex Scott, âgé de 19 ans, dans le cadre d'un accord d'une valeur potentielle de 25 millions de livres sterling, d'après Mark McAdam de Sky Sports. Bournemouth confirme la signature de "l'excitant" Alex Scott Scott rejoint Bournemouth pour 25 millions de livres sterling Bournemouth a recherché un accord pour Scott pendant cette fenêtre de transfert. Après une longue attente, les Cherries ont enfin décroché leur homme. McAdam rapporte que le club du Dorset a accepté de payer une redevance fixe de 20 millions de livres sterling aux Robins, bien que le montant total puisse atteindre 25 millions de livres sterling grâce à l'inclusion de modules complémentaires liés aux performances dans l'accord. Le journaliste de Sky Sports poursuit en disant que les Cherries considèrent Scott comme un "joueur passionnant" et étaient prêts à conclure l'accord quelle que soit la blessure du jeune milieu de terrain. Regardez: Les transferts de football changent pour toujours - Entretien avec un expert en transfert Scott rejoint les Cherries après une saison impressionnante sous Nigel Pearson à Bristol City la saison dernière, où il a joué 49 fois dans toutes les compétitions. Le directeur général de Bournemouth, Neill Blake, a évoqué Scott comme "l'un des meilleurs jeunes joueurs d'Europe" et estime que le milieu de terrain est "un excellent candidat" pour le système d'Andoni Iraola. Les cerises sont susceptibles de recruter au moins un autre milieu de terrain après l'accord avec Alex Scott Suite aux départs de Jefferson Lerma et Ben Pearson, l'équipe d'Iraola est devenue légère sur les choix défensives au milieu du parc. Dans l'état actuel des choses, Lewis Cook est le seul joueur senior dans les livres du club à avoir de l'expérience dans ce rôle.

Who did Leicester City sign from Fleetwood Town for a non-league football/soccer record transfer fee in 2012?

In 2012, Leicester City made one of the most significant signings in their history by bringing in Jamie Vardy (born 1987) from Fleetwood Town. At the time, Vardy was playing in the Conference Premier, the fifth tier of English football.

Vardy started his career at Stocksbridge Park Steels, a non-league club in South Yorkshire, before moving to Halifax Town and then Fleetwood Town. It was at Fleetwood where he caught the eye of Leicester, who were then managed by Nigel Pearson.

Pearson had been impressed by Vardy's pace, work rate, and eye for goal, and he saw him as a player who could help Leicester push for promotion to the Championship. Vardy signed for Leicester in May 2012 for a fee of around £1 million, and he quickly became a key player for the club.

In his first season at Leicester, Vardy scored 16 goals in 42 appearances. The following season, he helped Leicester win the Championship title, scoring 16 goals in 37 appearances.

Vardy's impact on Leicester's fortunes continued in the Premier League. In the 2014-15 season, he scored five goals in 34 appearances as Leicester narrowly avoided relegation. But it was in the 2015-16 season that Vardy really made his mark, scoring 24 goals in 36 appearances as Leicester won the Premier League title against all odds.
