Which of course raises the question - best goal scored by a defender for Leicester? Asides from Morgan's groin obviously.

Fuchs against Palace perhaps? ;)

Nah I think the Palace one was better. Build up play was very good for the Hull one, of course.

 

Besides which I was talking about since I can remember, not this month specifically.

We've had some full backs with absloute wands score some great goals, obv Fuchs. I think Thatcher about broke the net with a free kick once, which is probably pick of the bunch.

 

Bruma goal is something else though.

A lot of young people here.

 

The greatest Leicester City goal from a defender belongs to Steve Walsh. It would be the play-off final goal, deep into the game against Derby. That was the first time we had ever been ahead at Wembley and provided the platform for the ups and downs of the last 20 years.

You've missed the point. 'Best' goal, not greatest.

That goal was still the best, I can re-word the sentence but the point remains.

It won't win. I would imagine the utterly abysmal West Ham defending makes for poor viewing in the neutral's eye.

Best goal could cover all manner of basis - Huth's goal in question is great because it is well worked, whereas Walsh vs Derby/Morgan vs Sevilla due to importance of the goal.

 

Goals of the month/season vary, but often are either well worked or stunning. I remember one of my favourite all time premier league goals being Jack Wilshere against Norwich - not important but beautiful and a team goal. Whereas if you look back to that infamous December 2006 GOTM for the Premier League and pretty much every goal was a screamer!

No, it doesn't. Best in this discussion is based on quality, not importance.

If we're talking beautiful, well-worked defenders goals then that's a different kettle of fish.

 

I was always a big fan of Matt Elliot headers, they were never rated highly enough. It's one thing to be the big lad and win a header. It's quite another to get the accuracy and power on it he used to.

As acknowledged in my last post.

I do agree to an extent - Huth vs Spurs was a wonderful goal in it's own right, but wouldn't win any awards for beauty.

The award is really going to the assist, isn't it?

That's who Huth reminds me of after watching his headed goals vs Spurs, Man City and West Ham...

Did'nt Elliott score something like 10 or 11 goals one particular season during the O'Neill era?!

I don't think he got into double figures, unless you're counting the cup. He did score a few as an emergency striker...a double against Everton (I think) one of which where he turned on a six-pence.

 

Useful player.

That ****ing freekick. I love that we just started taking the piss by letting Huth take a freekick.

It was definitely Drinkwaters fault!
