of the match, and both caused Leicester to drop points, although it wasn't enough to prevent him from remaining a first-team regular. He scored two goals in 39 appearances throughout the 1998–99 season, helping Martin O'Neill's "Foxes" to a 10th-place finish. Six of his appearances came in the League Cup, though he was not in the matchday squad for the final, a 1–0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
