Hes an old-fashioned type of team member, hes got that leadership and skill to do whatever it takes to achieve success.And I think that goal against Leicester shows you that. Kompany won four Premier League titles, four EFL Cups and two FA Cups with City in 360 appearances.Only John Terry (5) has captained a club to more Premier League titles than Kompany (4).And former City player and manager Stuart Pearce dubbed the ex-Hamburg star the best captain and leader in the top-flight over the past ten years.
