Christian Fuchs is absolutely a Leicester City legend: anybody in the starting line-up that season, or who played a significant role, is legendary at LCFC. While he arrived already established as a person of significance as Austria's captain and a veteran of German football with Schalke, Foxes fans initially remained largely unacquainted with the intricacies of the marauding left back's game.
It admittedly took Fuchs a month or two to firmly impose himself within the tactical framework of the iconic Claudio Ranieri's side. Once he found his rhythm, however, the technically gifted defender never looked back, becoming an indispensable cog in the machinery of that miraculous title-winning campaign. He ended his Foxes career as an indisputable fan favourite.
Fuchs recently returned to King Power Stadium to participate in the commemorative charity match celebrating the tenth anniversary of the 5000-1 triumph against a rather weak 'All-Star' XI opposition. Indeed, with the head coach vacancy remaining on Filbert Way and Fuchs currently managing Newport County, his name has inevitably been whispered in connection with the managerial position in LE2, even if BBC Sport appeared to distance the 40-year-old from the open role.
That momentous Leicester City moment between Christian Fuchs and Jamie Vardy
Beyond managerial speculation, the Austrian reflected fondly upon his storied time in Leicestershire, stating that he is indeed an LCFC supporter too! He also specifically illuminated what he considers his most memorable on-field contribution involving the illustrious Jamie Vardy.
With characteristic precision, the expert full back executed a sublime 'no-look' assist that allowed the mercurial striker to shatter the Premier League record for consecutive scoring appearances whilst playing against Manchester United. That singular moment of telepathic brilliance remains etched in the collective consciousness of the LE2 fan base.
"And the no-look pass that split Manchester United's defence up? "That was pure show. I saw him running, I knew I needed to play the ball [and] I was like 'let's add something more to it if it goes in."LCFC Live
While the action served as a crystalline reminder of the sublime synergy that once propelled this club to the absolute zenith of English football, Fuchs made an admission. He said he styled the pass to be memorable.
