Have to pull you up here, Albrighton wasn't fit. We coached the **** out of him for months until his fitness was adequate and he went from weedy winger made of glass to a powerhouse who can play 90 minutes 3 times a week, at 100% intensity without ever getting injured.

 

Huth is a legend. Brilliant player. Arguably our finest ever signing.

Was he completely unfit when he arrived then? I always thought they fell out

"finest ever signing", what since 1884? I don't think so. Huth was undoubtedly a gifted player but in the overall scheme of things there are far more worthy of the finest ever title.

That's interesting I'd never heard that. He made a few appearances in 2014 and looked quite handy, but that would certainly explain a lot because he wasn't getting game time at Villa. As a matter of interest, how do you know this?

Probably one of the most important signings in our history. A defensive colossus and a great guy by all accounts.

The captain on the pitch who as others have said made Morgan look half decent. 

Have a word with yourself.

 

Huth said in a decent interview (with Richard Keys and Andy Gray posted on here recently) just how good a captain Morgan was and how he calmed everyone down whatever the result and was a brilliant captain at keeping everyone's feet on the ground.

 

Also, there's so much revisionism going on of Morgan's performances in our title winning season - he was unreal, clearly better than Huth over the season. If you go back in the average ratings here over the title winning season that will reflect that. Huth had a very shaky start to the season and it took him 10 or so games to get going (he was brilliant after that).

 

This idea that Huth came in and somehow he was marshalling Morgan round and all of Morgan's superb positioning, blocks and headers were all down to Huth is such horseshit.

 

Please don't get me wrong, Huth and Morgan are both absolute legends, but the way some people want to make every discussion on Huth some kind of thinly-veiled attack on Morgan as if he was some shit player who Huth made look decent is just insulting and complete revisionism.

Just as he suggested with use of the word 'arguably'

Totally 100%

I was at the Emirates for his debut (I think it was his debut)

I was I the home end and he completely changed us.

Played well but we're 2-0 down at half time - the home fans were so cocky at half time and Ian Wright did a half time pitch thingy and all was well with the home fans.

2nd half, we came right back at them and Estaban was totally pulling the strings.

Got 1 back and kramaric was unlucky not to level.

Their fans were screaming out for the final whistle.

Although we lost , I knew were had a great chance of staying up at that point.

 

That, I believe, was due to Huth.

 

The rest is history, but that run in of that season, was something else❤️

I was at that game. First glimpse of what was to come over the next fifteen months. Our performance that day was unlike anything I’d ever witnessed from a Leicester side.

got to stop  you there, Pal.

 

Morgan has been an excellent defender for us with many different defensive pairings  and has been a rock for us for a long time.

 

 

What i imagine you meant to say was that Morgan was starting to feel overwhelmed and was possibly cracking under  the pressure of not getting the cover/support needed from the midfield the season and having another strong defender come in was a help to him.

Me too. This was when I started to believe. Arsenal were begging like frightened toddlers round their Mummy’s legs for that final whistle.

One of the most influential signings we made in that two year period. Others get the glory but Huth really made a difference. It was no coincidence that the great escape occurred after he came in.

scored undoubtedly the greatest header i’ve ever seen against spurs 

In real time it felt like it took minutes from leaving his head to hitting the net. Absolute bedlam in the away end. The good old days...

 

I saw us win 2 and draw 1 at WHL.
