Timeline
Mustafa Kemal "Muzzy" Izzet (İzzet; born 31 October 1974) is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder for Chelsea, Leicester City, Birmingham City.
Born in England, he played for the Turkey national team internationally.
His father is a Turkish Cypriot who came to England as a small boy, and his mother is English.
His younger brother, Kemal, also became a professional footballer.
Izzet signed as a schoolboy for Chelsea, but never made a first team appearance during three years at the London club.
He moved to Leicester City in March 1996 on loan for the rest of the season.
He became a regular in the side, scoring one goal.
When Leicester beat Crystal Palace in the play-offs, Izzet was able to make his move permanent for a fee of £800,000.
He kept his place in the side for their Premier League season, which was successful for City.
They came 9th in the Premier League, and won the League Cup.
Izzet formed a partnership in midfield with Neil Lennon, which proved vital for Leicester.
In the 1998–99 season, Leicester came 10th in league, and reaching the League Cup final again, but lost out to Tottenham Hotspur.
The following season, Leicester came 8th, and again got to the League Cup Final, this time coming up against Tranmere Rovers, of Division One.
This year they won 2–1, with Matt Elliott getting both goals.
Izzet had been a regular in the side through all of this time.
After Martin O'Neill left to become manager of Scottish club Celtic, Izzet remained a Leicester player.
His time at Leicester attracted interest from West Ham and Middlesbrough, but he did not leave the club.
He was included in the Turkey squad for Euro 2000, making his debut and sole appearance in the tournament in the group stage as Turkey drew 0–0 with Sweden.
Despite pledging to stay at Leicester prior to the start of the 2001-02 season, Izzet submitted a transfer request in the autumn of 2001.
However, he rejected a move to Middlesbrough as he did not want to be seen to be "jumping ship".
He issued a plea to Martin O'Neill to sign him in May 2002, remarking that "only an idiot wouldn't consider joining Celtic."
Following Leicester's relegation and with the club in administration, Izzet was again linked with Middlesbrough.
However, Leicester insisted they would not accept a reduced offer for Izzet, who was valued at £6 million.
He was also part of the squad for the 2002 World Cup, featuring again just once, as a substitute in the 1–0 semi-final defeat to Brazil.
In total, Izzet made nine appearances for the national side.
Izzet now runs a football academy with fellow former professional footballer and former Leicester teammate Steve Walsh.
He withdrew his transfer request in March 2003, with the club securing promotion to the Premier League a month later on 19 April.
Leicester were relegated at the end of the 2003–04 season.
Unable to afford Izzet's £30,000 per week wages, the club admitted he was leaving.
Izzet was Leicester's standout player during the season, assisting 14 of the club's 48 goals, or 29% of goals scored by the club.
In January 2004, Leicester rejected £500,000 bids from Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers for Izzet.
Izzet joined Birmingham City in June 2004 on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal.
He scored his only goal for Birmingham in September; an equaliser against Bolton Wanderers.
The following match, Izzet suffered a knee injury following a challenge from Newcastle's Olivier Bernard on 3 October 2004.
This injury plagued the remainder of Izzet's season and he was able to make only two further appearances.
The knee problems continued into the following season and he featured sporadically throughout his time at the club, until he was forced to announce his retirement from football in June 2006.
On 28 November 2009, Izzet made a shock last minute return to Saturday football with Leicestershire Senior League side Thurmaston Town.
However, he admitted days later that his knee was still very sore and was quoted saying "whether I can turn out for Thurmaston every week is another thing."
He never played for them again.
Izzet qualified for the Turkey national side through his Turkish-Cypriot father.
