Happy birthday to the happiest man in football, N'Golo Kanté turns 30 today. Did you know, N'Golo was overlooked by France's big teams from the age of 8-18 because of his small stature and selfless style of play. N'Golo's breakout season came for Caen in 2014, playing 37 games in the top flight. His real value was on show as he recovered the ball more times over that season than any other player in Europe. A big reason why Steve Walsh and Leicester came calling.

The Foxes paid just €8m for the unassuming midfielder. But the Premier League soon realised that even if Kanté was just 5ft6 in stature, his impact on the game was gigantic. Breaking up play, putting out fires, playing it easy. Showing us fans there is beauty in simplicity. Kanye 's impressive form would drive Leicester to the Premier League title. 5000/1 had never seemed so certain with Kanté in the team. By the end of the season, he had managed 175 tackles (31 more than any other player) and 157 interceptions (15 more than any other player).

There's a saying that 70% of the Earth is covered by water and the rest is covered by Kanté, they weren't lying. N'Golo went on to join Chelsea, winning the PL back-to-back. Before adding an FA Cup and a Europa League to his trophy cabinet. When they said 70% of the Earth is covered by water and the rest is covered by Kanté, they weren't lying.
