===Leicester City=== [[File:Robbie Savage.jpg|thumb|Savage playing for [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] in [[1997β98 in English football|1997β98]], his first season with the club.]] Savage was transferred to [[Premier League]] side [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] managed by [[Martin O'Neill]], for a fee of Β£400,000, in July 1997. Savage spent five years at Leicester, where he made his name as a reliable, competitive and fiery midfielder. In 1999, Leicester reached the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] final against [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]]. In a controversial incident, Savage made a poor tackle on Tottenham's [[Justin Edinburgh]] who retaliated by swinging his arm out. Contact was minimal, but Savage fell to the ground. Edinburgh was sent off for raising his arms, and although Tottenham went on to win the final, many Spurs fans still hold a grudge against Savage for the incident to this day. However, a year later Savage reached the League Cup final again, this time winning 2β1 against [[Tranmere Rovers F.C.|Tranmere Rovers]].
