Wesley Fofana was around 10 years old when he got suspended from school for a week for smashing a football through a classroom window.
It was the end of the day and he was waiting to be picked up to go to training with his club in Marseille so decided to pass the time by kicking a ball around.
Football wasn’t allowed at his school and, after that, you can see why. But for Fofana, now Leicester City’s £32million centre-back, that was all there was. It was always football.
‘I never thought about anything else,’ he says.
