A to Z of LCFC players

[brookfox]

Just a bit of fun (/pass the time) for anyone who is "working" in these last few days in the run up to Christmas. Name a current or former LCFC player for every letter of the alphabet. 1pt for the surname (e.g. Yuki Abe), 2pts for a double name (e.g. Ade Akinbiyi) and rep points for a player who has played a significant part in our history (i.e. Andy King > Radishan Kishishev) or holds an obscure record (e.g. Joe Dodoo was top scorer in the league cup in our title winning season!).

 

And try and avoid the temptation to just Google it, you're only cheating yourself! Did it with a friend on the walk to the match the other day and there was only two letters we couldn't do (but have since thought of one of them)...

Is the bottom one Malcom Manley? And an older relative of mine tells me the top one is Bobby (Robert) Roberts. But I wouldn’t say either with certainty, though when I threw the pics in my chat, and explained the double letters the first response was Carl Cort 😂

For no other reason than the above comments:

 

We need to sign Granit Xhaka in the summer! 

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Btw, to save anyone thinking time, I tried making one of those clueless crosswords with City players as a theme once, and I think I worked out that Jimmy Quinn is the only player in the club's history with a Q anywhere in his surname, let alone starting with!

 

Excluding Ignasi Miquel I guess.

Actually my friend from school, Lee Quincey, had a couple (or one, can’t remember now) of years as a pro having come through the youth team. Didn’t make a first time appearance though but think it counts!

Forgot about him, probably saw him play for the reserves a couple of times.

 

But yeah, players with a full first team appearance of course.
