Finley Parsons Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 I was wandering whether it was about time Andy King had his testimonial. If he did when should it be and what should the teams be.
rn9013 Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 I think he deserves one definitely. Personally I'd be a fan of Wales v LCFC (let him choose the Leicester team).
SystonFox Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 ONE POST. it took one post about a club LEGEND for people to start bashing him. Four posts in and 50% of the posts are bashing him. a club LEGEND. He's won it all. He's played his part in a lot of that. He's not Conrad FVCKING LOGAN. leicester fans sometimes man

Yes he isn't good enough anymore to command a place in the first team, I accept that. But this man is a club legend. He's been there with the rest of us on cold Tuesday nights in league 1. He's helped us become champions of England. He's a decent, well rounded and hard working professional who in my opinion has never let the club down. Regadless of his ability now, he will always be an LCFC legend for me.
StanSP Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 in a weird turn of events, it's already been played and everyone else missed it. he was the only one to turn up.

He's not Conrad FVCKING LOGAN. leicester fans sometimes man For a more accurate sample you need to wait a few pages to be fair! King for me is a strange one. Rarely do you see player regress in their so called "peak age" but King has. He was once a "budding goal scoring midfielder" now he's a "backup midfielder" I think our progression as a club over the last few years has kind of made it a bit of a weird situation with King. He's a steady player that can be called upon to do a job from time to time, but he's never going to be a long term solution. Saying all of that, it's hard to put a price on continuity and having a player who's got knowledge of the past. He isn't somebody who's an all time club legend but he certainly should be respected and celebrated.
HankMarvin Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 His been a back up player for 3 years, and his only 28. Now we have more midfielders he will be lucky to start 10 games that will be 50 starts in 4 years what should've been his prime
StanSP Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 in all seriousness, he's an absolute legend of the club. Loyalty is such a hard thing to come by in football these days and to have someone stick with you through the lowest of the lows and see him be rewarded with the highest of the highs is what you want to see as a football fan. To me, it doesn't matter if he's not that good any more - he's deserved his place at the club and there is a place for sentimentality when you see what King's been through and what it's culminated in to for a club like us.
whoareyaaa Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 Still only 28, has been around since the beginning of time so you cant knock the bloke! He can be relied upon when required and has never threw his toys out the pram. Future manager?

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 Think King was more effective when played in a more advanced role. Used to be great when he ghosted into the box. He's scored 61 goals for City ... not far off Vardy ... but well over half of those goals were before he was 22. Successive managements have played him in a too withdrawn role.
Tuna Posted 30 July 2017 Posted 30 July 2017 Wymeswold was being ironic, hence the emojis. Seems obvious to me. Anyway yes he should have a testimonial, who was the last one - Walsh ?

There's no universally agreed definition of a football legend so that's just your opinion. Players don't traditionally get testimonials for being a legend anyway so it's not really relevant to the OPs question.

The actual content of his post was an attempt to be ironic (on the basis Andy King would miss his own testimonial)

Liverpool and Villa (when they were decent) both pursued him around that time too
