It was in 2016 when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was handed a list telling Leicester City's scholars whose boots they had been assigned to clean out of the first-team squad for the upcoming season, as is tradition in academy football.
He scanned and scanned until finally, he found his name next to that of the senior for whom he would be doing the scrubbing: N'Golo Kante.
'The year Leicester won the Premier League, I was his boot boy,' Dewsbury-Hall says with a smile, Chelsea's £30million summer signing having made sure they were spotless as he was petrified of being blamed if Kante's performances suddenly dipped.
