Muzzy Izzet

Former Leicester and Turkey midfielder Muzzy Izzet is the latest big name to sign up for the Marathon Bet #Non League Challenge.

Izzet signed for Leicester from Chelsea in 1996, and helped them win promotion to the Premier League by beating Crystal Palace in the play offs.

In his first full season with them, they won the League Cup, against Middlesbrough, and in his second season they beat Tranmere in the final.

Leicester were relegated in 2002, but he helped them bounce back the following season when they won promotion.

After making nearly 300 appearances for Leicester, he left them for Birmingham City.

He also collected nine caps for his country, one of them as a sub in the 2002 World Cup semi final against Brazil.
