Former Saddler re-writing record books

Last Updated : 08-Dec-2008 by

Former striker Matty Fryatt has become the first Leicester City player to score 20 goals for the club before Christmas since the late Derek Dougan in 1966.

Fryatt, now 22, scored his second hat-trick in successive games to take his season's tally to 22. The double hat-trick was described as being 'pretty unique' by manager Nigel Pearson who told BBC Radio Leicester if 'he plays well if the team play well'.
