All-time Leicester City XI

Recommended Posts

Posted

Good evening all.

 

I'm sure this thread has been posted before, so mods feel free to merge if required.

 

But with City on the verge of our first top-flight title I have been asked to come up with my personal all-time Leicester City XI and was just wondering how many of the current crop of players would you put in yours?

 

I have managed to narrow it down to 26 players, but would struggle to justify putting in club legends that I never saw play.

 

What would your all-time Leicester City XI be?

 

Gordon Banks
Peter Shilton
Kasper Schemichel
 
Colin Appleton
John Sjoberg
Graham Cross
David Nish
Dennis Rofe
Steve Walsh
Matt Elliott
Wes Morgan
 
Lenny Glover
Keith Weller
Jon Sammels
Alan Birchenall
Muzzy Izzet
Neil Lennon
Danny Drinkwater
N'Golo Kante
Riyad Mahrez
 
Arthur Chandler
Arthur Rowley
Frank Worthington
Gary Lineker
Emile Heskey
Jamie Vardy

Birch and sammels not good enough for that list. good pros but not good enough for an all time team. Kasper isn't anywhere near shilts and banks as a keeper. I doubt banks could distribute like kasper though.

About three times a season on average I'd say

Impossible to say, before my time there were plenty that probably should be there, like Weller and shilton, but who I have seen in my lifetime would be :

Kasper Schmeichel

Christian Fuchs

Wes Morgan

Matt Elliott

Danny Simpson

Steve Guppy

Muzzy Izzet

N'Golo Kante

Riyad Mahrez

Jamie Vardy

Emile Heskey

Subs

Tim Flowers

Steve Walsh

Gerry Taggart

Neil Lennon

Steve Claridge

Esteban Cambiasso

Danny Drinkwater

I got an E on my Maths GCSEs but I'm pretty sure that's not 11

Interesting contrast to last years results when Cambiasso was generally being hailed as the greatest player to ever don a city shirt.

Full squad, you said 26 but ill keep it to 25 to meet Premier League rules, kept to my lifetime only:

 

Goalkeepers: Schmeichel, Flowers, Keller

 

Defenders: Kamaark, Simpson, Walsh, Elliott, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Guppy, Taggart

 

Midfielders: Mahrez, Mancini, Izzet, Lennon, Drinkwater, Kante, Cambiasso, Zagorakis

 

Forward Options: Vardy, Ferdinand, Dickov, Claridge, Cottee

Agree. I'd also be inclined to take Alan Smith in preference to Heskey

Posted

Shilton

 

Whitworth

Walsh

Cross

Fuchs

 

Weller

Lennon

Izzet

Guppy

 

Rowley

Lineker

 

Subs:

Banks

Nish

Elliot

Drinkwater

Sammels

Vardy

Chandler

 

I've avoided picking players who only played one season for us, as I don't regard them as true Leicester legends. Sorry Cambiasso and Kante.

No whitworth, No Gibson, no I.King, No Mcklintock, no chalmers, no Rowley....No Rodrigues, No String..

I reckon the Nos get it...Mind you Weller cant fail.

I'll go on a slightly different tack and pick players who were crap, who we knew were crap and who knew themselves that they were crap, but for various unfathomable reasons were liked, admired and occasionally loved by the crowd.

 

Zeljko Kalac

 

Alan Paris

Jimmy Willis

Bob Hazell

Geoff Scott

 

Garry Coatsworth 

Pat Byrne

Colin Gibson

Jamie Lawrence

 

Ian Ormondroyd

Iwan Roberts

some half decent players on there - for comical value if nothing else.  A lot worse than that have played for Leicester.

 

In a time when we were the pits, I loved me some Delbert

 

What about Pressman - he couldn't out jump an elephant
