Big Nige. The board rejected the move initially. Stating his injury was too much of a risk. Nige and his team eventually persuaded to board late in the Jan window and the rest is history.

Yes i can see him being the type of player NP would have wanted...a really strong no nonsense defender, like NP himself.The tendency at the moment seems to be for "ball playing" central defenders but i'm a bit old school i like my defenders to be able to defend. Danny Simpson gets a lot of flak re his lack of attacking qualities but as a defender he is excellent at his job.

Just watched his video on LCFC.com.  All time legend.  Cheers big man.  X

Huth is a rare breed: intelligent, thoughtful, witty, self-deprecating, and a unit who’s tough as ****in’ nails. 

 

I’m glad this interview shows his depth and that so many on this thread understand how crucial he’s been to our recent success.

 

This season has been such a shame but it doesn’t take anything away from everything he’s helped us accomplish. 

 

I met him out in L.A.; he’s a nice guy but you know right away not to **** with him. He made sure nobody got a photo with him smiling— can’t have any evidence! What a guy, haha.

Huth is a legend without him we would be in the chamionship. He organised the defence so well something we are missing right now

We've missed his imposing authority at the back particularly. I think he'll always be regarded as our savior in our first season in the premiership and a key to our great win of the league. Hes cemented his place in history here. Good luck to him in his future challenges.

Huths short time here is the stuff of comic strip stories.

He joined us, like a missing jigsaw puzzle slipping into place and the team conjured  an almost impossible escape playing exciting football.

The very next season an unheralded team with  the Germanic giant guarding the gates and on occasion plundering the oppositions goal became legendary as they did the almost impossible again in winning the Premier League.

The following season saw him stalwartly defending in the Champions League in an exciting campaign that ended short of glory.

Yeah, we all know the story but it never gets old.

Probably one of our most important and influential signings ever for me. I wish him the very best. 

[Ted Maul]

Definitely going to miss the big b*****d.

 

Wish he had got a bit of game time at the end of the season so we could have said goodbye properly.

Foxes 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.

More on this story...

Six Excellent Robert Huth Tweets

- Robert Huth set to call time on three and a half years as a Leicester City player 
- Defender played a pivotal role in Premier League win and Champions League run 
- Vice Chairman hails Huth’s commitment and personal qualities 
- Foxes fans were given their chance to thank Huth on Wednesday night

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 was 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.

We had no end of posts and so many topics/threads over Mahrez.......

I am just posting again...start of the new season,to keep this thread going for one of the most successful and best CB,

We have ever seen in a Leicester shirt,in the modern era....The memory seems to have dwindled,also for this service...134 posts

Seems too little,when we consider,the amount of crap posts and threads on Mahrez..(also legend and left great memories)

I just hope we don't forget him so easily....Robert Huth will be fondly remembered,in my circle of city,and various midland fans

Including , many German fans. Somehow I find he went too quietly..without a real goodbye...
