TOTTENHAM\u2019S James Maddison has revealed how he and his former team-mates were denied a Christmas party after an ex-colleague took the money to a RIVAL CLUB.<\/strong><\/p>\n The star, 26, ended his five-year spell at Leicester City to join Spurs in a \u00a345million move in the summer.<\/p>\n The England international has made a great start to life in North London, although Maddison did suffer an injury blow last night when hobbling off in Tottenham\u2019s 4-1 defeat to Chelsea last night.<\/p>\n However, prior to that setback, Maddison made an appearance on Sky\u2019s hit TV show A League of Their Own.<\/p>\n And during the outing he hilariously opened up on an incident involving Leicester\u2019s legendary winger Marc Albrighton, 33, and last season\u2019s Christmas party.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The veteran was part of the Foxes 2016 Premier League winning squad and later played alongside Maddison to lift the FA Cup in 2021.<\/p>\n Having been at Leicester since 2014, the ex-Aston Villa man was given one of the most senior roles inside the dressing-room and was in charge of dishing out the players\u2019 penalty fines.<\/p>\n That money collected would go towards their festive knees-up – but that task ended when he moved to West Brom on loan last term.<\/p>\n However, he failed to return the cash ahead of the Christmas bash.<\/p>\n Maddison revealed: \u201cNormally it goes into a kitty for a night out at Christmas or something.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAt Leicester last year Marc Albrighton was looking after it and then he went on loan in January to West Brom and took it with him so we never got a night out.\u201d<\/p>\n He then jokingly pointed at the camera and said: \u201cHe\u2019ll be watching as well, we want that!\u201d<\/p>\n Albrighton is back in the Leicester squad this term following their relegation.<\/p>\n But with the Foxes riding high in top spot of the Championship, another party could well be on the cards as we prepare to hit the festive season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
