The Second Most Talented City player?

[murphy]

I think that we are pretty much all agreed that Mahrez is the most naturally talented player to have worn the shirt.

 

I don't think that we are a club that has been over-burdened with flair players, we have had great workhorses like Walsh and Lennon, deadly strikers like Vardy and Lineker but who would run Mahrez closest as most naturally gifted?

 

I never saw the seventies sides so I think I'll have to go for Heskey.  Miles below Riyad of course but before Liverpool got hold of him and turned him into a big lump centre forward foil for Michael Owen he was pretty electric at times for us and could terrorise defenders.

Right now is Gray

Muzzy? Before my time, Frank Worthington?

[1972 Fox]

Frank Worthington for me. Muzzy is up there too.

I was 6 when I first went down in 1969 so a tad too young to remember and appreciate Davie Gibson but what my Grandad,RIP, always told me about the man will do for me!

Frank Worthington, Muzzy Izzet or Dave Gibson.

Never saw Wortho but Muzzy is a good shout.

 

Free inflatable dinosaur for the first 'wag' that says Junior Lewis.

Who I remember well , Wortho,Weller and Glover were v special players.

[foxfanazer]

I’d say for technical ability Izzet is the second best in my lifetime. Never can remember any proper flair players here

 

Knockaert was exciting to watch at times but had no pace

[Hammo]

Worthington in second place without a doubt - though in the same team the Birch also possessed loads of natural flair.

[ARM1968]

Rooster Russell. Nuff said.

Bout right I’d say ..   just chuck in Gibbo and maybe Weller ...   

[ARCHER]

Septimus Smith

[foxfanazer]

Anyone not saying Lloyd Dyer is just wrong

[BigWesMorgan]

Will be an unpopular opinion but you really could see Kramaric’s natural ability in the short time that he played for us.

Another good one.

 

I think he was often called the most gifted pre Mahrez.  Played for the 1920's (nearly) title winners I believe.

Albrighton is like a modern day Glover ...   buts let’s hope his career doesn’t follow the same path ...   

[Bluetintedspecs]

It wasn't this man ?

Played at the back with Phinneas Phogg ....   

[Silva Fox]

Keith Weller for me although surprised no-one has mentioned Cambiaso or Mancini at least as contenders

Trevor benjamin

Can remember thinking this is the most outrageous thing I’ve seen from a Leicester player at the time
