Leicester's greatest ever players are...

Jamie Vardy and Kasper Scmeichel.

 

Is there anyone who can compete with the achievements of these two?

 

They have won the top flight and the FA Cup .

 

Albrighton, Morgan and Fuchs, legends, received medals for both without the same level of contribution.

Disagree with Marc Albrighton. He's still been an important player this season

Gordon Banks. World Cup winner.

end thread

If it's based on personal accolades then we need to reopen the thread for a second.  Ngolo Kante. World Cup and Premier League and FA Cup and UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League winner.  Ok you can close it again.

I also don't think it's true to say he contributed less to the cup run than Vardy - the opposite if anything

That is nonsense Marc played more games than vardy in the FA cup win with more goals and more assists. 

 

He also played in all 38 games of 15/16

 

He easily deserves to be alongside Vardy and Kasper on achievement at the club.

Don’t forget we still have English Football’s all time leading goal scorer.

Arthur Rowley’s 434 goals is the most by any player in the history of football in this country- 251 of those as a Fox. 
He never seems to get the recognition he deserves at Leicester. I’ve said before on here respecting past legends is one thing we do poorly as a club. Rowley’s goals and two second division league titles should make him part of the conversation. Interestingly Rowley is not a member of the English Football hall of fame - something again as a club or support base we should be asking for.

This isn’t to undermine the achievements of Vardy, Kasper and the modern heroes, just, for me needs to be part of the conversation.

I agree. I do wonder why this is the case.

People often say that he scored most of his goals in the second division. But for the two seasons we were in the top division when he was here he bagged over 20 both times. 

However you look at it his record is phenomenal and difficult to see it ever being beaten. More than 400 league goals. More than 250 for us. 

Never played for England either, so seems to have been undervalued, even in his own day.

Sorry I meant more as to why the club does not really make a show of any legends pre 2016.

Wouldn't even put Mahrez in my top 10, tbh.

You cannot tell me you were not on the edge of your seat every time he got the ball. It ended up sour i know, but still one of the most talented Leicester players ever.

There are three, and they are so obvious that I can’t believe anyone feels this discussion is even necessary.

 

Malcolm Partridge.

Nicky Platnauer.

Patrick Kisnorbo.
