I'm not surprised he has divided opinion - he did in his playing days.

 

BUT - he loved the club and has provided me with some of the most sacred memories as a Leicester supporter. The play off against Derby, I shall never forget.

   1987-1988    Played  32    Scored  7  goals  (Division 2)
   1988-1989    Played  30    Scored  2  goals  (Division 2)
.  1989-1990    Played  34    Scored  3  goals  (Division 2)
   1990-1991    Played  35    Scored  3  goals  (Division 2)
   1991-1992    Played  43    Scored  7  goals  (Division 2)
   1992-1993    Played  40    Scored  15  goals  (Division 1)
   1993-1994    Played  10    Scored  4  goals  (Division 1)
   1994-1995    Played  5    Scored  0  goals  (Premiership)
   1995-1996    Played  37    Scored  4  goals  (Division 1)
   1996-1997    Played  22    Scored  2  goals  (Premiership)   
   1997-1998    Played  26    Scored  3  goals  (Premiership)  
    1998-1999    Played  22    Scored  3  goals  (Premiership)  
.  1999-2000    Played  11    Scored  0  goals  (Premiership)  
    2000-2001    Played  0    Scored  0  goals  (Premiership)
 
If you look at the premiership seasons and bear in mind that players like Arphexad (99/00), Prior (96/97 & 97/98) and Ullathorne made more appearances in each of those seasons it does go to show that he was a squad player at best.
 
No, not trolling.  No, he didnt shag my wife.  It's just that I was there, traveled thousands of miles to watch him "perform".

Like Steve Walsh as a player / club hero whatever you wanna call.

Dislike him as a media whore / twitter whore / half time entertainment whore etc. no need for it

I think calling him Leicester's most Iconic player is a bit of a stretch, he was just your average defender who could play up front and bang a few goals too. But because of his style of play, being sent of a record number of times, and being known as a hardman he is loved by Leicester and seemed to love Leicester back.

In terms of skill and performance he was nowhere near Leicester's greatest players, I mean Matty Elliott was miles better than him, can remember watching Elliott play his first game he was huge but could take the ball off someone, bring it out then pass the ball 40 yards to feet, never a player to just hoof it up the field like most average defenders

Was Walshy one of the best to play for the club for me no. Was he a guy who gave 100% yes, did he make mistakes yes. Filbert street used to be about an 180 mile round trip normally on my own in often an old car or a scooter often costing more money than I really could afford to spend. Hundreds of times I came back vowing never to go again only to turn up for the next match. For most of his time here we were a poor side, often he was suspended and often injured battling back time and time again to play for us.

 

At times we were utter shite, many a game you just wished they at least looked like they were trying, if I wanted to support a team that won every game I wouldn't have supported Leicester that is what the Tigers were for.

 

Walshy was a whole hearted professional who did his best fondly remembered by many so I personally wish the guy luck and even if you think he was crap look at some of those he played with!! For me a legend is someone who is remembered and he certainly is.
