 Not forgetting Norman Leet who, if memory serves, worked in a shoe shop on Gallowtree Gate. Think he 'played' one game. 

How very dare you! he made 22 appearances.  Every one a defensive masterclass.

My mistake. I've clearly deleted those games from my mind. I can remember him making a crazy attempt at a clearance at the Kop end & skewing it out for a corner. He gave a furtive look at the crowd that seemed to say 'look, I don't know what the sodding hell I'm doing here either',

he gave all of us hope that anyone of us could be plucked from the crowd "if they were short".

 

He is a legend in my eyes for the simple reason he always tried.  The fancy Danns (do you see what i did there) of this world sometimes looked like they didnt give a hoot but Leet, Geoff Scott, Paul Ramsey, Coatsworth ( the list goes on) all looked like they took every goal conceded and every defeat personally.

Ok, but...

Not sure I'd take honest endeavour  - however well-intentioned - over pure ability. I want to see players like Mahrez, Izzet, Worthigton pulling on that blue shirt. Players who could do things that no-one watching in the crowd could.  Not some bloke from Wigston who I think could have been me if I'd kept off the beer & fags...

Can’t be arsed to check, but after 28 pages someone else must have already done the “Matty James” gag by now??

Correct, played one good season for the foxes but barely featured in the following season which was a shame.

 

Here's another...

Kaebi.

 

 

This thread's a bit redundant though:  If you've forgotten they played for us then how can you post about it?

Shit you're right.  Google image search has failed me  

[Wymsey]

Hossein Kaebi.

Some of the media at the time thought the club had a good player on their hands with very strong potential.

[The Horse's Mouth]

That Moreno was ****ing doggers ?

Nah sorry Wymes but - like me - you've been bamboozled by the google:  Monty's right it's Moreno vs. Macca.

[Langston]

That Moreno was horrid but didn't Sousa give him a turn at centre half one game? The way he pratted about and turned semi competent defenders into absolute messes really was outstanding.

[ScouseFox]

was moreno signed when we signed vitor? an michael lamey too? pretty sure that was the most exotic summer we’d ever had at the time.

Yeah it were ? 3 mill on waghorn too ?

[ScouseFox]

fuc king hell yer remember when we went absolute do or die to win the fans over by signing waghorn and he ended up being rubbish. 

 

good times. 

[Langston]

I remember when Sousa was unveiled and they introduced him on East Midlands Today as "once voted GQ's best dressed man" or something, I thought we were going up then.

Adrien Silva

What about this one.. signed from Birmingham in 2007, left in 2010 for Blackpool.

DJ "oh wait he's offside" Campbell

[ScouseFox]

remember when he came back after about 2 years of loans and it was like the second coming, everyone hated him but he looked sensational for about half an hour and we were gonna win the league. then he was rubbish again. 

 

think that was sousa as well. mate that 2010 summer was off the scale. what a club.

I remember him lining up at centre back playing at Turf Moor. He attempted a free kick from about 35 yards with a stuttered run-up. Straight against the wall.
