Fans Favourite Kenny Black will join Leicester City today and we wish him all the best in what is sure to be a great challenge in the English Championship.
Leicester who are sitting 14th in the league are looking for a fresh attitude within the camp and I'm sure Kenny will bring that to the club.
Kenny Black
The only Diamond to score in a European competition against Sparta Prague during the away leg of the Cup Winners Cup, if noting else he will go down in the record books for this achievement.
But it was the crunching tackles that made Kenny both a favourite at Hearts and Airdrie. His unyielding ability to make sure he either got the ball or the man always added a little bit of spice to any fixture he was involved in. Even in yesterday Scotmans Gerry Britton wrote.

• In the early 1990s, when I was a young striker learning my trade at Thistle, the mere mention of the word "Broomfield" was enough to send a chill down my spine, as a visit to the dreaded home of Alex McDonald’s Beastie Boys was definitely not for the faint-hearted.
  
  The Airdrie side of that time were full of battle-hardened veterans like Kenny Black, Paul Jack and Jimmy Sandison, and I believed they ate whippersnappers like me for breakfast."

With the departure of Brian Rice to Falkirk Kenny stepped in to assist his old team mate and friend Sandy Stewart as assistant player/manager and helped being us back to where many fans feel we belong. In the Bells First Division.

Once again we thank Kenny for his service to the club and wish him good luck with his new position as Assistant Manager at Leicester City Football Club.
