Patrick Fabio Maxime Kisnorbo (born 24 March 1981) is an Australian professional football manager and former player. He is also known by his nicknames Paddy and PK.[4] As a player, Kisnorbo was a primarily a centre-back, but also played as a defensive midfielder.[5] He made eighteen appearances for the Australia national team.
Kisnorbo was a fans' favourite at Leicester City, accumulating over 100 appearances in his four years at the club.[6] During his time with Leicester, he was at the centre of a number of refereeing controversies in which officiating calls were later shown to be wrong.[7][8] He has also suffered some injuries that affected his playing ability for a time. Kisnorbo has represented Australia at international level in three tournaments; the 2002 and 2004 Nation Cups and the 2007 Asian Cup. He started his professional career at South Melbourne and later played for the Scottish club Hearts before joining Leicester and then transferring to Leeds United.
Kisnorbo won the 2009–10 fans Player of The Season award and also the Players Player Award for Leeds United in his debut season. During his first two years at Leeds, Kisnorbo wore a headband bandage when playing football as 'a superstition' after initially wearing it following a head injury suffered on his Leeds debut.[9][10]
