Best first touch in world football. 

[foxfanazer]

Fuchs no look pass for the Vardy record breaking goal.

 

I really liked Mahrez' cross for Vardy against Chelsea when Mourinho got sacked. Impossible to defend 

[pmcla26]

Was an assist to the assist but Demarai Gray's run vs Everton was special 

 

Albrighton's got a catalogue 

[SickoDicko]

Another assist to the assist but Praet's pass at Brentford 

[urban.spaceman]

Mahrez for Vardy's 50th Premier League goal vs Manchester United.

 

Ball gets hoofed up, it's only Mahrez and a defender up front. Mahrez holds up the ball, Vardy's running, Mahrez whips out his phone and waits...

 

 

A perfect pass and Vardy buries it.

 

Absolutely ridiculous.

A should-have-been assist. Mancini's ball for Izzet against Chelsea in 2001. Floated perfectly on to the very spot Muzzy's head was about to arrive at, and he headed it over. Still one of the greatest balls I've ever seen and I wish I could find highlights of it somewhere.

Excited to see how far these threads can go.

 

That One Backpass - Phil Gilchrist's expert touch back to Tim Flowers in the FA Cup 4th round 2000 that really took the pressure off the defence.

One of the most underrated goals was claridge against man u in league cup(I think). 

 

A ball in to the box and Heskey's back-heeled volley and then claridge volleyed in.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Fuchs somehow ending up on the right-wing then threading the needle for Vardy's 11 in a row Vs Man Utd.

[FOXSE]

That Heskey assist is in here...

Another nearly assist from the same season: Junior Lewis tried to trap the ball in the penalty box but instead stepped on the ball, resulting in the ball bobbling up for Akinbiyi, who then took an air shot – before the ball was cleared for a throw-in by a Sunderland defender. 

I wonder why Mancini didn't stick around?

Almunia to Chris Wood 13/14 season.

Gary Coatsworth's huge garryowen for Walshy to equalise against Derby in the '94 Playoff final

Tielemans no look pass for Nacho

Youri at Brighton in 2021. 

 

It looked so simple at first, but it was so beautifully weighted and I loved the way it had Dunk scrambling.

I miss the Youri that played for us and cared, I'm still not over him playing for Villa

It wasn’t an assist because it didn’t end up in goal. But I’ll never forget that first time pass from Cambiasso, if you know you know. 

[turtmcfly]

The fizzing speed/quality of this Vardy assist. My favourite I think, not least for what it prefaced

Alwas loved that Steve Walsh pass to Izzet at Wembley 96 which led to him being fouled for the penalty.

[onekeithweller]

Alan Woollets left wing dribble and perfect cross for a Steve Earle header to put us 2-0 up v Everton 1974. Dreamland !

Crazy times. We had some of our best ever players - Izzet, Elliott - playing alongside the likes of Benjamin and Lewis. I sometimes wonder what they thought about it all...

One that sticks in my mind is Albrighton putting an absolute peach in for Slimani at home to West Ham in 16/17. We had someone who was very good at crossing and someone who was very good at heading, and yet that was one of the rare occasions we managed to get them combining to any meaningful effect.
