Robert Huth to Leave at End of Season

Foxes Prepare To Acknowledge Huth Contribution

 

Robert Huth, a name written into some of the greatest chapters of Foxes folklore, is to conclude his spell as a Leicester City player at the end of the season.

 

Everyone at the Club would like to express their thanks to Robert for his substantial contribution to the most successful period in the Club’s history.

 

Vice Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Players like Robert have been so important to our Club in the last three years, not just for his qualities as a footballer, but for his qualities as a character. He’s a leader, a winner and a player whose commitment to the team has made him equally popular among our players and our supporters. His status as a Leicester City great is very much secure.”

 

Signed on loan from Stoke City in January 2015, Huth was an integral part of City’s famous revival during the final weeks of the 2014/15 season, before making his move permanent that summer.

 

He would go on to take his own tally of Premier League winners’ medals to three in remarkable circumstances the following season, as the Foxes shocked the world to become champions of England for the first time.

 

Only Wes Morgan and Kasper Schmeichel started more than Huth’s 35 league games en route to the title, while his crucial winner at Tottenham Hotspur and remarkable double at Manchester City were truly iconic moments in one of English football’s greatest stories.

 

A leader during numerous heroic defensive stands during his 93 appearances in City blue, Robert’s experience was vital during the Foxes’ run to the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals a year later – solidifying his partnership with Wes Morgan as one of the Club’s all-time great central defensive pairings.

 

Leicester City manager Claude Puel said: “It is a great shame that I have been unable to call on Robert’s experience due to injury this season, but he is a fantastic man and is always a positive influence on the squad and for this I am grateful. I would like to congratulate him on everything he has achieved as a Leicester City player.”

 

Robert will be presented to the Foxes faithful ahead of Wednesday night’s visit of Arsenal to King Power Stadium, giving supporters the opportunity to thank him directly for his contribution during his time with the Club.

Possibly the most important signing ever for the club.

 

Without him there would be no Great Escape, and without that no Premier League Title.

 

Thank you, Robert Huth

Why let him go and offer Wes a contract extension?  He must be terminally injured?

Wes is still under contract and Puel never actually said he would offer him one he said "we will see" and Rob Tanner twisted that

Can't decide on his greatest ever moment for the club.

 

  • The header at Spurs - late goal, just plants his feet and twats it in from 12 yards.
  • The "So if you're just joining us.... #lcfc are leading 3-0 and Robert Huth is on a hat-trick" tweet
  • Stoke free kick.
  • This Arsenal tweet: 
     

Might do a poll if there's any I've missed.

I can't find it anymore but there was a video of that goal from the Leicester end where you just see him planting his feet in and twatting it - which all seems to happen in slow motion - and then here's just ****ing pandemonium. One of so many great moments from that season.

Old school beast of a defender that would just bully opposition players into submission. 

 

One of our most important signings ever and such a shame he wasn't able to play this season.

 

I expect he will rejoin Stoke or another Championship club and hopefully have an injury free 1-2 seasons before he retires. 

 

Will be missed for sure!
