Billy Kee
A unique talent or N Ireland crisis

THE CUNNING FOX, 06.09.2009

Billy Kee (18) has been called up to full N Ireland duty. Kee has been called up after it was clear that Kyle Lafferty will miss the next games.

Kee is currently with Accrington Stanley and on loan at the League 2 club. He has not yet made his Leicester debut and so far only played four league games for Accrington.

His record at U.19 level is impressive, with four goals in eight games. He has also played one game for the U.21 team.

He has also impressed during Leicester City's pre-season campaign, in the reserves and at youth level for the foxes.

A certain Norman Whiteside comes to mind when you see Kee making the squad at the age of 18, and we all know what he went on to do.

Nigel Pearson should be keeping a close eye on Kee and watch his progress closeley. Mattock, Stearman, King and Gradel has all made the grade from City's academy and hopefully Kee will do the same.
