Muzzy Izzet Biography

Muzzy Izzet is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 31, 1974 in Mile End, Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Muzzy “Muzzy”, born 31 October 1974, is an ex-footballer who has played for Chelsea and Leicester City as well as Birmingham City. He also represented the Turkish national football team. His father is Turkish Cypriot and his mother is English. Kemal, his younger brother, became a professional soccer player.

Izzet signed a three-year contract with Birmingham City on June 4, 2004 as a free transfer. His first season was plagued by injury. He only made a few appearances but did score his first league goal for Birmingham. It was against Bolton Wanderers. His second season was even worse. He sustained a knee injury that kept him out of action for a prolonged period. Izzet announced his retirement on 27 June 2006.

The following season started with a 5–0 home defeat to newly promoted Bolton Wanderers. Despite pledging to stay at Leicester during pre-season, Izzet handed in a transfer request in autumn of 2001, prior to the club’s relegation, but he rejected a move to Middlesbrough as he did not want to be seen to be “jumping ship”. He did issue a plea to O’Neill, who was now manager of Scottish Premier League side Celtic, to sign him in May 2002, remarking that “only an idiot wouldn’t consider joining Celtic.” Following their relegation at the end of the 2001–02 season, Izzet was again strongly touted for a move to Boro. However, Leicester insisted they would not accept a reduced offer from Middlesbrough for Izzet, who was priced at £6 million, and no deal came to fruition. He withdrew his transfer request in March 2003, after the club achieved automatic promotion by finishing in second place. In January 2004, Leicester rejected £500,000 bids from Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers for Izzet. At the end of the 2003–04 season, Leicester were again relegated. Unable to afford Izzet’s £30,000 per week wages, the club admitted he was leaving.

Izzet now runs a football academy with fellow former professional footballer and former Leicester teammate Steve Walsh. In September 2015 Izzet’s autobiography was published, titled “Muzzy: My Story”. The autobiography was co-written with Leicester Mercury writer Lee Marlow.

Izzet reports on Leicester City’s exit from the Premier League during the 2003-04 season.

He paid PS800,000. City was pleased to keep him in the team for their Premier League season. They finished 9th in Premier League and won the League Cup. Izzet and Neil Lennon formed a partnership in the midfield, which was crucial for Leicester.

The 1998-1999 season saw Leicester finish 10th in the league. They reached the League Cup final but were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur. In the following season, Leicester finished 8th and reached the League Cup Final. This time, they were up against Tranmere Rotors, Division One. They won this year 2-1 with Matt Elliott scoring both goals. Izzet was a regular player in the side throughout all of that time. Izzet was a Leicester player even after Martin O’Neill’s departure. Although he was at Leicester during his time, he didn’t leave the club.

On 28 November 2009, Izzet made a shock last minute return to Saturday football with Leicestershire Senior League side Thurmaston Town. However, he admitted days later that his knee was still very sore and was quoted saying “whether I can turn out for Thurmaston every week is another thing.” He never played for them again.
