Chelsea No2 Emenalo had low key spell at Notts County

Former Wales international Andy Legg has recalled playing with new Chelsea No2 Michael Emenalo at Notts County.

He went to Notts County for a season in what is now the Championship, where Legg was a team-mate.

"We knew he had played at the World Cup and when he joined us it was obvious he was such an athlete - he was unbelievable," Legg, now manager at Llanelli, told the Independent. "One game he was played at left-back and he would end up on the right wing. He was a quiet lad and kept himself to himself.

"We didn't have a great season [County finished bottom, 14 points from safety] and he didn't play much. It didn't work out, but he was strong and powerful and when he went on a run he really did go on a run."
