Ex-Super Eagles Striker Makes Leicester City’s Worst Eleven Of Premier League Era

One-cap Super Eagles striker Ade Akinbiyi was included in Leicester City’s worst eleven of the Premier League era.

The list which is in a 4-4-2 formation was compiled by www.90min.com.

Akinbiyi joined Leicester from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £5.5 million in 2000 before departing in 2002.

He was brought in as a replacement for
Emile Heskey who left for Liverpool for £11 million but failed to live up to expectations, scoring only 11 goals in 58 league appearances. 

His time at Leicester hit rock bottom in a 4–1 defeat at home to Liverpool after he missed four easy chances, including a miss from six yards in the last minute.

This led to boos by Leicester fans whose patience with Akinbiyi had run out.

He was called up on three separate occasions for the Super Eagles, earning just one cap in 1999 in a friendly game against Greece in Kilkis, Central Macedonia.
