The most shocking thing you've witnessed from a Leicester player?

[Captain...]

I can't remember the keeper, I think it was against Everton, but we had a defensive free kick it was knocked back to the keeper (Kevin Poole maybe) and he picked it up and walked out of the penalty area and put the ball down to take the free kick not realising the free kick had been taken. Indirect free kick was awarded for handling a back pass the opposition took it and scored whilst we were arguing with the ref. Utter madness.

 

Edit: Fvck me, I was right on both counts, I even I can't remember what I had for dinner yet I can remember this: 

"The Merseysiders can think themselves to be somewhat fortunate, though, in being given the gift of a goal as early as the 12th minute. Barmby and Hinchcliffe combined to capitalise on a bizarre double error by City's stand-in goalkeeper Kevin Poole. Poole, playing in only his second Premiership match of the season, because of Kasey Keller's international commitments with America, made one of the blunders of the season to give Everton the lead.

Referee Jeff Winter awarded Leicester a free-kick for offside against Everton, and, when Garry Parker rolled the ball back to Poole, the City keeper inexplicably picked it up under pressure from the nimble Barmby. He then compounded that error by allowing the England striker to get hold of the ball, and tap it to Hinchcliffe, and then he stood and watched as the Everton defender lofted the ball over his head and into the empty net.

The Leicester players immediately surrounded referee Winter, who simply waved away their protests. And Everton boss Joe Royle was in agreement with him. He declared: 'There was nothing wrong with the goal. It was quick thinking by Barmby, but I can understand the supporters not being able to realise what was happening.

'There was a misunderstanding by the goalkeeper when he picked the ball up, but Barmby has to be congratulated on thinking as fast as he did. It was a great finish as well by Hinchcliffe.'"

Haha.

 

I remember Kasey Keller saving a penalty at home to Derby only for them to then score direct from the subsequent corner  

[Houdini Logic]

Not a player, but one of weirdest things has to be big Nige strangling James McArthur  

[Captain...]

Neil Lewis thinking he'd been sent off Vs Milwall and leaving the pitch for 10 minutes before being convinced by David Oldfield, the player who had actually been sent off, that he could go back on the pitch.

Yep, was already back up to Keller by then but that was pretty much the end of Poole.

For me it was David Pleat not a player. My friends and I were getting autographs as the players got on a coach before an away game. Pleat was the last one out,  saw us waiting and said “ are you waiting for me are you?” we grinned and nodded and said “ yeah” he had a small handful of kit with him so he said “ let me just put this on the coach and I’ll be back down”. so we said ok, he gets on the coach says something to the driver and he shuts the door and drives off. Left us  stranded, pens  in hand and everything. We must have looked like right melts,

 

shocking behaviour!

Kevin Pressman in general 

[jimsmallman]

Gary Coatsworth's magnificent volley against Luton.  Was shocking as he never gave us any inclination before or after that he was occasionally possessed by the spirit of Josimar.

What an absolute bellend. Just another reason to dislike him.

It's not the most cheerful story but one of the most genuinely shocking things that I've seen as a fan was Big Dan's broken ankle v West Ham in 2018. I was sat not far from where it happened and the angle his ankle was pointing in....can still see it now.

Those things live with you for a long time. I had a bad leg break myself and a good friend of mine who played alongside me in midfield still grimaces to this day when ever the subject comes up. Actually didn’t hurt as much as it looked and quicker to mend than an ACL.

I was only about 10 or 11 at the time but remember Steve Walsh breaking David Geddes's jaw, that was pretty brutal even for Walshie. I'm sure he got something like an 11 game ban and Geddes was out for about 6 months too. The fact we lost to Shrewsbury was irrelevant because we lost to all sorts of shit teams back then.

Struggling to think of many/any others that haven't been mentioned but that Kermorgant pen would have been my other choice.

Russell Hoult eating a hot dog and kicking back ready enjoy the game in the stands, before being dragged back in to start against Wolves. 
In his full league debut he played an absolute blinder too, and from memory didn’t concede in the 4 or 5 games he played. 
He also did a Tom Hopper before it was cool!

To make matters worse, he was in Scunthorpe's squad as a player/coach when we played at Glanford Park a few years later and they actually listed his weight in the programme. Over 18 stone if memory serves.

A century ago goalkeeper’s names were all size related, Fatty Morris, Chubby Jones etc. and on that basis he’d have been known as Would You Look At The F’ckin Size Of Him Pressman.

Anything in the last few years, spurs 3-2 apart, pales into insignificance compared to 2002-2014 for me. Some ridiculous moments in those years

We chose to forget that period, any signing made by Craig Levine easily fits the bill of this thread.

First error was ever wanting David Pleats autograph!

Either Zeljko Kalac's debut when he was at fault for both West Brom goals or his home debut v Bolton when he was a fault for all 3 Bolton goals....tricky choice.

 

I was only a very young lad but was truly blessed to witness both live.

We think we were bad at corners now, that Bolton game every time they had a corner or even a cross it was an absolute nightmare

Pressman getting lobbed by lonergan

My favourite Pressman moment was against Sheff Utd. 3-2 up in injury time. They are launching long throw-ins in the box. Whistle goes for a push, FK LCGC in the process one of their players hits the ball towards top corner in the moment. Pressman flung himself to the ball, final whistle goes and he makes this incredible save which meant absolute feck all. The irony was he had to launch himself that early to the ball to give himself a chance
