    This may get me some beer money for xmas if I am right.

    Did Roberto Mancini ever play for Leicester City?
    I reckon he did around the turn of the Century, but I could be getting him mixed with someone else!:confused:

    He broke his leg playing for them didn't he? Is that him? I am doubting myself now.

    He doesn't want a guess he wants a factual response.


    I can say without guessing that he did.

    Overview

    Mancini debuted in the Italian Serie A for Bologna on 12 September 1981. The following year he was bought by Sampdoria, for £2.2m, whom he played until 1997 [1]. Later he played for Lazio (1997-2000) and Leicester City (2001).

    According to soccerbase

    Premiership Sa 20Jan 2001 Leicester 0 - 0 Arsenal

    English FA Cup Sa 27Jan 2001 Aston Villa 1 - 2 Leicester

    Premiership We 31Jan 2001 Southampton 1 - 0 Leicester

    Premiership Sa 03Feb 2001 Leicester 2 - 1 Chelsea

    Premiership Sa 10Feb 2001 Everton 2 - 1 Leicester

    Yes, 5 times, his final game was as a 45th minute substitute against everton. If he did break his leg in this game, then Leicester finished it with 10 men, as they made 3 half time substitutes, one of which being Mancini.

    Hope this helps.
