In 2010 he released Louis Armstrong's "When You're Smiling" with Leicester City F.C., in celebration of the club's success in reaching the Championship Play-offs and he sang the song on the pitch before the first leg against Cardiff City at the Walkers Stadium. He re-released the single in 2011 and appeared on ESPN's Talk of the Terrace in early September of that year.
