True legends of the club.

When you mention Kante, he is exactly the kind of player i would never want to be legend status. Yes he was part of the premier winning squad, as was Danny Drinkwater and Ryhad Mahrez. All 3 used the club as a stepping stone to further careers. Mahrez will tell the world he wasted 2 or 3yrs at leicester after we won the title. Drinkwater, in my eyes feigning injury to seal a move to chelsea, then posts on twitter his comment and video of him running round the pitch at chelsea. Finall. Kante. We had barely lifted the trophy and he wanted out was planning a move weeks after. Judge that with vardy who decided to pledge in the end, his career with leicester. So for me. Not every player deservers legendary at leicester from the premiership winning team

Time forgets these things though.

 

Shilton was exactly the same, maybe even worse given he didn't leave us for a bigger/more ambitious club. He left in a sideways move to Stoke for the money and was booed by Leicester fans for years afterwards every time he played us.

 

No one remembers that now and people just remember him as the great player he was for us.

 

No one will care about what Mahrez did when he left when they're telling their grandkids about them in 40 years time.

I cant help bit agree. Maybe kante is the worst for me. A legend after just one season. Nooo. Same with cambiasso. We begged him to stay. Though tbf he def was taking a big downward step in his career joining us.

Cambiasso was knackered. He said himself that he was never going to be fit enough for another Premier League season. He knew that his time was up.

Minority of Cretins did Boo him ( like a few now)..gar from all. Plus G.Banks "Moved sideways" to Stoke,

After Gillies had to tell him,the board had decided Shilton was the future...

Even back then, intrigues,conspiracies, know-alls & shit-stirrers were the Flavour around Filbert Street.

 

Clubs then had a different Standing , there were no Superstars in British Football,but Stoke were being recognized has One of the clubs,who were then gathering for something big....

Unlike Forest, Derby despite  their aspirations ,Stoke like Leicester couldnt at the time realise their fans dreams...This was just before our dreaded period,

of the 1969 relegation..!! Leicester had started to Fall off the Rang,where Stokes Star >seemed< to be  rising...& they actually had some Good seasons & decent

Players...

Legends of the club are few and far between. The players i would call legends (from my time watching) would be:

 

Lineker 

Walsh
Wright

Izzet

Morgan

Kasper

Vardy

 

sone big mentions for Wallington, Fuchs, Heskey, Albrighton, Huth who are players I have enormous respect for too.

 

i know that Worrhington, Birch, Weller and ‘The Doug’ were all big fan favourites before my time.

Just thinking here that Colin Appleton has slipped under the radar a bit, 12 years with the club, many of them as captain...played in our first League Cup win and 2 FA Cup Finals.

Has graham cross been mentioned? Before my time. Most appearances. Also played cricket for Leicestershire.

The fact that the highest goal scorer in the history of English football was a Leicester player doesn't seem to be enough to confer legendary status any more. 

Probably because it happened before our time (even mine), Arthur Rowley rarely gets a mention. 

But if you've got a couple of minutes, look at his numbers. 

The bloke was a phenomenon.
