I think Nugent us unlucky not to be on here. Cottee was good also and Collymore. Even Steve Howard and Fryatt were both great but it was league 1. Claridge and Marshall were decent. Would be easier to compile a worst 10 strikers list, we've had some shockers over the years. 

Collymore wasn't with us long enough (just 12 appearances). Shouldn't be in consideration imo.

I do find these lists (best 10,11,12 etc) fairly pointless because you can't really condense 140 years of something into small numbers but this list seems particularly crap given not all of them played in the position.

I love kel but he shouldn’t be on this list. 

Kelechi scoring 4 goals and getting 1 assist in 3 games in the matches leading up to the FA cup final in 20/21 is underrated. He was involved in all 5 of our goals in those games.

 

We wouldnt have our second biggest trophy without him.

Nacho is the club's all-time leading goalscorer in cup competitions with 26 (next are Vardy and Stringfellow on 15). Obviously it's indicative of the fact he's not been a regular starter in the league and so gets to play most of the cup games. But it should count for something and shouldn't be dismissed imo.

What in God's name is Nacho doing on this list?

American-born England international Keith Weller.

Weller was born in Seattle

Just seen this. Probably indicative of the amount of research that went into this article.

[winteriscoming]

Mahrez should be on that list if Weller and Stringfellow are.

I never saw Keyworth, Leek, Hine or Dougan, but based on record and reputation they'd all be good shouts. Arguably moreso than Iheanacho, and definitely above some of the suggestions that have been added to the mix. I know Duncan was a wing-half in his later career, but he began as an inside forward. And Arthur Lochhead was too, unless I'm mistaken. So they'd have to be ahead of quite a few on that list.

Shinji gets in for being in the 2016 side but he scored what, 4 or 5 goals for the club ? He is a great character but Nugent , Russell , Marshall even Fryatt were far better strikers not to mention Dougan and Clarke 

[Brooksy]

No Jermaine Beckford is criminal.

[Bourbon Fox]

What an interesting article, from the point of view of why AI-generated articles are dodgy as hell

Tony Cottee?

I agree. Bought on the cheap but Martin got him firing. His brace vs Sunderland in the LCSF was pure quality.

[irishfoxkev]

Ade Akinbyii , Trevor Benjamin...😜😜

Rodney Fern, Tommy Wright, Rooster Russell

someone clearly has too much time on their hands ……

[foxfanazer]

Kermo was decent 

[Brizzle Fox]

Has the guy who wrote that ever been to a Leicester game?

 

Doesn't seem to know what position half the players' he's included played.

 

Just another pointless, oh look at me load of old bollax.

Unfortunately, lists of this type always seem to favour players from the most recent decades of the club's history, which is no doubt why some of the stalwarts of City's distant past have been completely ignored. Based on goal scored alone, the list's top 10 would be Chandler, Rowley, Vardy, Hine, Hines, Arthur Lochhead, Lineker, The Mighty String, Duncan and Jimmy Walsh. Of course, everyone has a different view of what constitutes 'greatest ever', so lists such as this are really just talking points.

Harry Kane can feel hard done to here

 

A few on this list who played semi pro football centuries ago who are closer to Henry the 8th being in power but englands best can’t get a look in. Just sad and disappointing

Great shout and probably warrants a place in this based off of how exciting his signing was at the time 

[WarehamFox]

If anyone say's Iain Hume or Paul Dickov then you were not there! Very bad times
