Cambiasso Makes King Power Stadium Return

Foxes favourite Esteban Cambiasso was a guest at King Power Stadium on Saturday and LCFC TV caught up with the former City midfielder...

During his one-year spell with City, Cambiasso was a key figure in run of seven victories from their final nine league games, a sequence of results which is still referred to as the greatest of great escapes.

Memorable moments from his Leicester career include a brilliant goal during a 5-3 success over Manchester United in September 2015 and an effort in a 2-1 victory against West Ham the following April.

I love the city, I love the Club. I feel really, really happy to come back. The truth is that nothing surprises me when it comes to these supporters.
