Leicester City completed the three-month loan signing of Collins John from Fulham in October 2007.

John joined Fulham from Dutch side FC Twente as a raw 18-year-old in 2004 - and became an immediate hit at Craven Cottage.

After making his debut off the bench at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, John was unleashed on Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium three weeks later - and grabbed a match-winning brace in the 28 minutes he was on the pitch.

He then followed up his goalscoring exploits with a further two goals against Blackburn just two days later - securing him almost instant hero status with the Fulham fans.

The striker bagged six goals during his first full season in the top flight, but really hit the ground running the following year. John scored on 13 occasions during the 2005-06 campaign - including strikes against Manchester United and Liverpool.

The player made 23 Premiership appearances for the Cottagers the following season, but has failed to cement a place in the Fulham squad this term under the leadership of Lawrie Sanchez.

In total the player has made 108 appearances for Fulham (64 off the bench) and has scored 23 goals.

The Dutchman has received international recognition at every level for the his county - including two caps for the senior side.
