Belgian Blues Back For Bolton

Twice already this term, scores of fans from Wasilewski’s former club RSC Anderlecht have made a long pilgrimage to Filbert Way to hail the Polish defender, who became a cult hero during his six-year spell with the Belgian club.

‘Wasyl’ was mobbed by the travelling Anderlecht fans following the 3-0 win over Millwall last month, after climbing into the stands to show his appreciation for their eight-hour round trip across the Channel.

And with over 100 set to return to King Power Stadium for Sunday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with the Trotters, Foxes fans can look forward to an increasingly familiar cosmopolitan influence on the matchday atmosphere.

“I always had a great relationship with the Anderlecht fans when I played there, they were very good to me,” Wasyl tells Sunday’s edition of CITY Matchday Magazine.

“My squad number was 27, as it is now at Leicester, and in the 27th minute of every game the fans would sing my song. We had a great relationship and they will always be in my heart.

“I'm very grateful that they travelled such a long way to see me play for Leicester. It was an amazing gesture and it was very special to see them after the game.

“We won the game too and hopefully we can win again when they come back for the Bolton game.”

The Foxes head into Sunday’s game as the new Sky Bet Championship leaders following back-to-back 1-0 wins over Queens Park Rangers and Reading either side of Christmas.

Foxes fans have until 5pm on Saturday (28 December) to redeem their Leicester Mercury vouchers and claim a £10 ticket for the Bolton game. For further information click .
