Great Balls

[bovril]

Your favourite passes, crosses, whatever by Leicester players.

 

I'd have to go for Mancini's cross to Izzet against Chelsea in 2001 (that Izzet headed over from about five yards out).

 

Or Mazhrez to Vardy in the 2-1 win against the same opposition in December 2015. 

[MGLCFC]

Fuchs to Vardy for the goal that broke the record v Man U

Mahrez to Vardy for his first goal v Liverpool in the title Winning season

[Dahnsouff]

I know its possibly TOO contemporary, but i loved that pass from Praet to Kelechi v Brentford. It was absolutely astounding, the vision, the weight. 

[Guest]

Praet's through ball in the cup against Brentford last year was outrageous though I'm still not entirely convinced he meant it.

 

I can't think who it was against but I remember Cambiasso playing an absolute peach into big Leo Ulloa, who tried to bring it down but instead sent it pinging about fifty yards away. That was the moment that made it absolutely clear that Cambiasso was playing on a slightly different level to the rest.

 

Iheanacho away at Villa in the league last year when he nutmegged Nakamba and then slid Vardy straight through with a perfect through ball, only enhanced by the comedy nature of the goal that followed.

 

Another from last season, Chilwell's dink to the back post for Perez's second at Southampton. Again not sure that's exactly what he meant to do but it looked sublime.

Some of the balls over the top from Drinkwater to Vardy were superb.

[BeardyFox]

Mahrez first time pass to Vardy against Man City a couple of seasons back. Unbelievable technique.

[King of Gipsy Lane]

Kuhn Vichai rowing with a Stanford Bridge security caused then passing up his Chelsea season ticket and passing on investing in them to come and be our eternal hero 
 

name me a better pass in the history of this club and I’ll crawl naked round the KP for charity 

[Buce]

 

OK, I know he was no longer a Leicester player (and the pass was to himself) but any excuse to post this:

This was beautiful. 

 

Also Mahrez's to Vardy against United the following season when he waited, waited, waited....

[adejo92]

Got to be one of Kaspers 120mph passes to Evans. If you look closely on the replay, you can see flames.

[Corky]

Richie Wellens backheel to set up Bruno Berner against Nottingham Forest. Took three of their players out of the game in one go.

[bovril]

Gary Parker - a more cultured English player I haven't seen at Leicester. His looping cross for Grayson's header against Wimbledon is the stuff of legend.

 

And I always loved Izzet's goal against Villa in 96 after the little reverse pass from Claridge:

 

 

 

[Torten]

Mahrez to Vardy for the first time volley vs West Brom

[turtmcfly]

Immediate thought is Vardy's cross to Ulloa for the first goal in the 5-3 against Man U. Love the way he make a Rojo look daft, the full pelt spring to get to the by line. and the cross itself is a beautifully converted. Plus... what it led to

Vardy’s crossing is normally really good

[Scotch]

One that always sticks in my mind is Mahrez to Vardy against Chelsea in our title winning season. 

 

Mahrez to Vardy against west Brom the season after too.

 

....Or Mahrez to Vardy for that screamer against Liverpool. 

 

Just Mahrez to Vardy in general. 

[casablancas]

Fuchs no look, praet against Brentford both jump to mind

[HighPeakFox]

Before I'm accused of being a hipster, I agree with everything said so far.

 

For some bizarre reason, I have a residual fondness for a left footed crossfield pass that Inler made (I think against Villa). Nothing particularly epic about it, but it was so crisp, he curled it with power, and you could hear a gasp from those there. I don't think it got better for him than that.

[urban.spaceman]

Walsh to Izzet to win the penalty at Wembley 1996. 

[foxfanazer]

De Laet to vardy in the 5-3 win against United

[AKCJ]

I always love Emile's cross to Izzett when we stuffed Derby 4-0 in about 10 minutes in their own back yard. Always like to show that game to the freaks that think Heskey was a donkey.

[Collymore]

Heskey's cross with his right foot for Izzet's diving header against Derby back in 1998. When we panned them 4-0 in 15 mins or so.
