I see Powelly,s got himself fixed u at Leicester - 6 month contract:
Powell signing pleases Pearson
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson says veteran defender Chris Powell will add valuable experience to the side.
The 38-year-old left-back has signed a six-month contract with the Foxes after impressing Pearson during a week training with the club.
"Chris is a very experienced head who will complement our young backline very well," Pearson told the club's website.
"He has been put through some rigorous testing this week and passed with flying colours."
The left-back began his career with Crystal Palace before spells with Aldershot, Southend and Derby.
His most memorable period however was at Charlton, where he was handed an England call-up in 2001 by Sven-Goran Eriksson.
He went on to play for West Ham and Watford before rejoining Charlton.
Powell could make his debut for Leicester in Wednesday's League Cup match against Fulham.

locked on for next season
1) He loves playing - just for the sake of it. You're a long time finished, so play while you can (I know I do ..!...)
2) He's proud to be PFA Chairman and doesn't want to be forced to quit - only current players can be chairman.
a) dont want him playing bad and getting slated by lCFC fans
b) it dont feel right seeing him play for another team
but still wish him all the best. hope he brings a book out one day.
You make Sir Chris sound as if he's your ex-missus

Don't worry they still have Kish, voted the worst player to ever have played in a Foxes shirt
Sounds like Foxes fans have a lot more footballing sense then ours then! Remember all those Kish fans!!
;o)
If and when we pick our 10 legends for the 2000s he will be on my list along with Sir Christopher Powell.
Kish put so much into a game that I suspect his legs are not what they were hence the verdict of the Leicester fans. As others have said I hope Sir Chris doesn't get tarred with the same brush in his footballing dotage.
Very well said Len. Kish was a hugely important player for us.

It wasn't long ago that Leeds fans were giving him rave reviews, however when you are in a struggling team it's common to find fault with everything and everyone connected with that club.
Bang on!
He was mainly played in right midfield after that, - but one match where we beat Pompey at home 2-1 (late goal by Jason Euell, was it - can't remember?) he was outstanding in centre mid.
In his early days he had some nice touches and took his time with his passing.
But as a regular holding midfielder, a lot of that went out of the window in a frenzy of non-stop graft and tracking back to cover others not doing their own job. In short, he worked too hard and tried to do too much.
But he was obviously a demon to play against, closing opponents down quickly and in their face - even if his distribution could be a bit hit or miss. He would still attempt a defence splitting pass which when it did come off, never seemed to be given the credit for in the same way as if Parker or Jensen had struck it. Obviously, Curbs valued him for the way he crashed around the park stopping opponents playing - and "p'raps..." guaranteed him a place if he kept up his tremendous work rate.
Love him or loathe him, Kish gave us 100% committed performances for 7 years - and was a player who would have laid down his life for Charlton.
For that alone, he should be recognised and appreciated, in this age of the mercenary.
