A real shame that he rejected the contract offer 

Oooooooo get you.

 

george Taft is a fan. Not a player though

George Taft is probably the second worst person to come from Glenfield

[Finnegan]

Think there's a distinction between players that have fallen in love with the club (from Lloyd Dyer to the Birch) and players that were actual childhood fans. 

 

The latter seems to be pretty rare. I highly doubt King was, for example, I mean why would he be? 

 

Even half the Leicester born lads that have come through seem to have been raised glory supporters.

Bit harsh on @mattp that.

Lee Chapman once nearly bought a house in Oadby

Nearly but his Vardy lookalike career didn't quite take off the way he hoped in the end!

Dublin lived on Burnmoor Street, surely he supported the club.

He was a West Brom fan

It was my mate Kev Newby (an estate agent) who started thst rumour as a laugh

Gary Lineker? 

I could never really figure out whether Lineker's love or affection for us, especially during the title-winning season, is/was genuine - after all, he spent most of his playing career away from home.

Never shone through up until then from what I remember.

Then again, I suppose from a TV commentator/host's point of view, you've got to bite the bullet and remain impartial most of the time.

[MC Prussian]

Ian Baraclough surely must still like us. Somehow.

[SemperEadem]

Barnes perhaps?

Choudhury seems to refer to us 'as my local team' rather than one he supports.

[CosbehFox]

It says a lot that the only player I can think of who was vocally a Leicester fan when playing is Richard Smith. 

[ozvaldo]

Hamza?

Barnes?

Chris O’Grady?  

[LittlethorpeFox]

Lee Tomlin is definitely Leicester.

 

And Jack Whitehall's mam

[stripeyfox]

So basically no one then bar Lineker?

He's Arsenal by his activity on Twitter.

Swear Moore's youth coach said he was an Arsenal fan on here.

I used to play football with him down our local park as his cousin was from Anstey, I vaguely remember him being a United fan but could be wrong. Beating him at heads and volleys/cuppies remains a low flying achievement of mine. 

 

Can't for the life of me remember the name of a striker who played for Derby and Cov a handful of times and is probably at somewhere the like the Nomads now who supports Leicester, must be around 24-26.

Barnes does, there was a video of him where he says that it was his dream as a kid.

The whole world was a fan in 2016.

Interesting isn't it - I have been mulling that over, and it was a classic example of people wanting to support the winning team, whilst holding onto their primary allegiance. Then of course, that meant they all felt entitled to an educated opinion on our demise and how it should be dealt with, as if they actually gave a f**k. It is/was the equivalent of all the sad cases who latched onto Liverpool when I was at school, and pretty insulting really.
