| Robbie Savage |
Leicester
Born: 10/18/74
Hometown: Wrexham |
| Robbie Savage is a feisty right-sided playmaker whom Leicester signed in 1997 after fending off competition from Crystal Palace and Coventry City.Savage's career has followed a similar path to that of Neil Lennon. After being rejected by a big club they were both rescued by Dario Gradi at Crewe, who was able to see their potential.After several seasons of grooming, Martin O'Neill moved in to lure both players to Filbert Street. In Savage's case the player fell out of favour at Crewe and demanded a transfer soon after being left out of the side that won the second division play-off final.At first Savage had to make do with the subs bench at Leicester but after being given his chance he made the right wing-back role his own.The move to Filbert Street also coincided with Savage breaking into the full Wales team. He scored his first goal against Turkey and despite a fall-out with the then Wales manager Bobby Gould, he remains an integral part of the squad.As time goes on Savage just seems to become better and better and along with Muzzy Izzet and Neil Lennon, Savage is part of a midfield trio widely recognised as the best in the Premiership. |
