Michael Morrison

Like Adams, Morrison was a signing in Leicester’s League One season in 2008-09, having played National League football before that for Cambridge United.

Morrison made the step up to third tier football pretty comfortably and subsequently the Championship, and after leaving City in 2011 for Sheffield Wednesday, he ended up being a very solid defender for the level for a number of years.

Now 35 years of age, Morrison has been playing back at Cambridge since January 2023, with his career coming full circle after starting out at the Abbey Stadium.

Max Gradel

It’s somewhat of a surprise that Gradel will turn 36 in November, and he is continuing to play at a good level too.

Born in the Ivory Coast and raised in France, Gradel was plucked from Lewisham College by Leicester in 2005 after going on trial with them – that came after the winger spent months trying to impress Arsenal in similar trials.

Gradel ended up playing 33 times for Leicester, but in 2010, he was sold to Leeds United following an initial loan stint at Elland Road.

Going on to play 104 times for the Ivory Coast and still named in their squads to this very day, Gradel has played regular top flight football in recent years in France, England and, most recently, Turkey.

Just this summer, he signed for Gaziantep in Turkey from Sivasspor, and despite being 35 years old, he was given a two-year contract, such is the ability he still has left.
