Best opposition players that you've seen at the King Power/Filbert Street?

Laurie Cunningham tore us apart when WBA did us 5-0 at Filbert Street 1977.

The game that effectively ended Jimmy Bloomfields time at City.

Also shouts for Denis Bergkamp, 3-3 draw 1997 & Ruud Van Nistelroy, lost 4-1 2003.

 

 

Can still vividly remember the Bloomfield out chants at that match. Still finished in the top half of the old division 1 that season despite losing our last 3 games.

 

Bloomfield resigned at the end of the season and everyone was thinking that McKlintock would lead us onwards and upwards. Things went from bad to worse and relegation to division 2 swiftly followed the next season.

Duncan Edwards

 

Would loved to have seen him play. Had he lived could have won the World cup in 1962 and he probably would have been captain in 1966. 

A great read about him is the book "Duncan Edwards - The Greatest?"

As a one off performance the Dennis bergkamp show at filbert street takes some beating.

 

as for actual player regardless of the shift they put in itd have to be the winker unfortunately.

As a wide-eyed kid I saw George Best play at Filbert Street... and score.

Was that the goal from a free kick where the ref pushed us back to about 15 yards away from the ball from a free kick not far outside the box?

Scholes and RVN in the 4-1, scholes was just incredible that day, ran the show.

I really can't remember, to be honest. Hower, I do recall the Man Utd fans singing 'e for b and Georgie Best'.

Jimmy Greaves,  Bobby Charlton, and George Best.

Bergkamp probably wins for a performance against us at home.

Anyone remember a semi final against Spurs in the 80s? Hoddle destroyed us single-handed just through effective passing.

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Obviously not in the same league as Bergkamp etc but back in the 93-94 season Paul Kitson was brilliant for Derby in a 3-3 draw, got a hat trick I think. Matched infamously of course by Iwan Roberts "scoring all fvcking night"

[fuchsntf]

Knockaert, when he returns...next season

[Durnerz]

Victor Valdes comes to mind from the Barca friendly 03/04 I've never seen a keeper coming virtually to the edge of the 18 yard box to catch a cross, anything in the air that night he had it.

[The_77]

Gimenez was an absolute freak on Tuesday. 12-0 in the air, 5 tackles. Sure Godin and Griezmann are incredible players but as far as best opposition performances go, that kid's gotta be up there.

[Mease]

Dennis Bergkamp When he had our pants down at Filbert Street.

 

Dennis Bergkamp

 

or Shearers performance of innocence for his volley....

 

Whatever mate !
