Crazy Kop Corner Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 Has to be the goal vs West Ham which started the last 6 years of success. The man is a legend.

Rob1742 Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 At the player of the year awards a few years ago my boy was wandering around collecting autographs ”how is your Dad? say hello to him for me, he picked me for man of the match earlier in the season” Think that says enough about how he has treated people over the years. A model professional on and off the pitch.
deanolegend1989 Posted 20 June 2020 Posted 20 June 2020 For the biggest personal moment - Vs Everton. What a story league 1 to the height of English football with the same club - his local club. Unheard of. For pure technical ability - the goal he scored on the opening day of 2012/13 vs Peterborough. Not talked about much(or mentioned on here) but a world class strike. For the biggest importance - West Ham 14/15. Probably arguably the most important goal in our entire history. I fail to see us gaining the momentum if we drew at home that day. The belief that gave us was unbelievable, that along with Vardy at WBA were the 2 biggest games in our history. From then on I was confident we would do it. Where would we be had we gone down!? Onto King himself, what a servant. What a legend. Started the journey, ended the journey. He was far too good at league 1 even at his young age, championship level he was a goalscoring midfielder and probably one of the best for a good 3/4 seasons. Was a bit under appreciated after we got drink water/james combination and played 2nd fiddle(maybe wrongly) but the seasons form determined that. Then at Prem level, maybe he wasn’t good enough to the heights we got to, however he still proved he had the quality, scored a good few goals I can remember vs West Ham and Swansea in the great escape, a crucial and technically good finish vs WBA and a fitting finish on our biggest day ever vs Everton. Some will argue he didn’t have the engine or quality at Prem level and they may be right, but ability and technical wise, he was as good as any we have produced. He will go down as a Leicester Legend no doubt in my mind and other than maybe a select few, will be in the top 10 maybe 5 of all time Leicester greats IMO. Respect Kingy! Always welcome at the King Power.
