Shame, I wonder if you can put a blame on the medical team and/or the doctors who tended after Matty's achilles tendon?

It just seems to be one of these unfortunate events where modern medicine fails, having no answer to a more complicated issue.

What if... he had only found that one wonder healer?

 

Hope he stays in football, pursuing a career as a manager, coach, whatever. Best of luck, Matty! You've been a real asset during your time at LCFC and we'll never forget your contributions to the club. Still holds two club records (two consecutive hat-tricks for the first time in 80+ years, first Leicester player in 40+ years to score 20+ goals before Christmas).

Didn't he also score our quickest ever goal?

 

Yep, just looked it up, 9 seconds against Preston

Is Jack Hobbs playing much?

He's had a number of injury matters apparently for over the years.

 

85 appearances for Forest in 5 and a half years. Sadly injuries have ruined him as well.

 

Hobbs is another player that I liked. Always associate him wirh the 10/11 season that overachieved. Have fond memories of that squad. Not the most talented  (Hobbs, Weale, Waghorn, Howard, Berner, Gallagher etc) but worked very hard and were organised.

 

The 13/14 squad were far more talented by a country mile but I appreciated the 10/11 team.

They exceeded our predictions. Nobody would have expected us, with that squad, to finish top 6 that season. Credit them all, Pearson and his staff.

 

There were some good teams that season too. Newcastle, WBA and Middlesbrough were the 3 relegated sides that were strong in addition to Blackpool, Cardiff, Forest, Swansea and Reading who were all good sides.

That was the 09/10 squad wasn't it? Cardiff play offs.

After hitting the skids in 2008 from the wreckage of the years before fryatt was really the first big success we had in over a decade.

 

Our most vital player in Pearson's first time in charge before the injury.

 

Shame he seemed to fade so quick after us.

Nahh, all respect gone after he cupped his ears infront of the Kop after bagging for Hull.

 

A unique talent who grew massively in his time here, still remember him scoring late in a game against Wolves when they had Lescott and maybe even Paul Ince on the pitch and he got mobbed right infront of where I wuh sitting. Welcomed him back veraciously and loudly from several injuries and even in the relegation year where he and Campbell(offside) really struggled. Looking back maybe always an average Championship player but he was one of ours alongside Hume, Howard or Waggy; completely outshone by Nugent who was the bees knees in comparison.

 

As I said, eff him because of the goal for Hull but best of luck in his future pursuits ect.

You might have meant to say the 09/10 team.

 

That season was for me the best one we had which didn't go our way in the end. Better than the 03 promotion even.

 

Pearson took over a broken club and almost got us back into the big time within 2 years and on a severely limited budget. Was some indifferent shows lets be fair about The Watford 4-1 win in April 2010 was the moment you could sense that the dark days were well and truly over. A day that was the first glimpse of what the future would hold.

 

Tough to take the circumstances of the playoff defeat but it served us in good stead in the long run.

From what I remember wasn't he getting loads of unwarranted stick for some reason that day?

Loved watching Fryatt play and always thought if he was just quicker, he'd have played real top flight.

Great finisher.

First memories of football is going to games and loving the Fryatt chant and getting a Fryatt '12' shirt which is hanging up on my wall. We may have moved on to slightly more glamorous times but I'll never forget those times!
