07/08 squad quiz

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Just in case you're (very) bored waiting for the new season to start, I made a list of all 40(!) players who played for us in our worst ever season. How many can you name in 15 minutes?

 

For clarification, they have to have made at least one active appearance for Leicester in the Championship, League Cup or FA Cup in the 2007/08 season. Even if just for one minute. (There is a player who played for literally just injury time in one game)

I got 15 and then gave up cos it was too much to take to remember how atrocious we were.

Yeah. I got about a minute in and gave up. It was like one of those elaborate torture death games from the Saw franchise. 

[Tuna]

Got 33, missed a couple of obvious ones too.

24

 

Somehow I remembered Ricky Sappleton, yet forgot Andy King and Steve Howard.

I typed up De Vries but wasn't accepted for some reason

Probably because it's programmed to accept the last word of an answer, and it would consider "de Vries" two.

 

I've fixed that now.

No I didn't. I just have a good memory.

that's not what I was aiming at

Hellings didn't feature that season (or, at all for us) btw, whoops. Replaced him with yet another relatively crap loan signing who I missed off my original list. Should (hopefully) be perfect now.

Turns out I genuinely didn't commit that era to my memory 

 

I wonder why?!?!?!

[Captain...]

Who else is hopping over to the players you forgot played for us thread.

 

James Chambers* literally no idea who he is, Kelvin Etu-who?

 

*He played 24 games for us

30/40

 

I remember odihambo as appearing twice in FM 2007, but never for us tbh

[UniFox21]

Genuinely scary that Kingy is the only survivor from that squad. Must be another good reason just to have him around, the guy was there at our lowest and highest points

Half an hour against Villa in 06/07 and a couple of minutes against Accrington in 07/08. That's it.

It’s at times like this that we should all take time to appreciate how far we have come since that moment in our history!

 

Just 10 years ago, we were owned by Milan Mandaric, had managers like Ian Holloway and Martin Allen, got relegated to the 3rd tier, spent the summer picking up free transfers, were desperate to sign the likes of DJ Campbell, and our seemingly best players were the likes of Joe Mattock, Iain Hume & Stephen Clemence!

 

Who’d have thought that 10 years down the line, we’d have won the Premier League, played in a Champions League Quarter Final, be about to expand the stadium, having a new training complex built, buying players for £25m+, selling players for £60m+, have nearly half of our squad at a World Cup, have Key players in the England side, and be one of the top 20 richest clubs in the world?

 

Should really put things into perspective sometimes!
