Leicester Reject XI

[MrsJohnMurphy]

I don't know if this has been done before, but is it possible to create a full starting 11 made up of players who never made the grade at City, but then went on to greater things?

They may been duff signings, youth teamers we released or players we let go on the cheap.

This thread has been inspired by watching "Spider" Kalac playing for AC Milan against Arsenal so thats the starting point.

Disagree with Akinbiyi.

Think you are missing the point of this thread, he said "then went on to greater things", not "who are crap players"

never made the grade at city .

Think its fair to say akinbiyi made the grade, we spent £5 million for his services and he was a regular in the team

He has looked a better player since leaving us but has he gone onto higher things?

[MikeyT]

Junior Lewis, Steve Howey and Jacob Laursen have to be in it surely?

[AyewJoking]

Jordan Stewart? Never fulfilled his potential at City. In the end we were glad to see him go. Since then he has played in the premiership and is still in a better team at the moment.

Zagorakis? Cant remember if he commanded a first team place week in week out but he was generally regarded as a decent player. However, he left and captained Greece to glory in 2004.

RB - Peter Rodrigues (Not a washout by any means, but went on to captain Southampton to victory in the 1976 FA cup final)

LM -

RM -

CF - Don Revie? (OK, so he wasn't a complete washout either, but made his name elsewhere afterwards)

CF - Billy Steel (Played for City in 1939 for a few games (Hey, small matter of a war!), but 2 clubs later in 1947, he joined Derby County for a British Record Tranfer fee of £15,500

Manager - Only one that comes even close is Gordon Milne, who went on to manager Beskitas to 3 Turkish league titles (But again - didn't do a bad job here)

It would seem that Leicester is more a graveyard for poor players

[DB11]

Marcus Bent has gone on to very good things in the Prem

[l444ry]

Mark Bright was never accepted here as Gary Lineker's replacement and certainly went on to better things.

[reynard]

David Nish in the seventies didn't do too bad when he left! Obviously he was pretty good here but I would say went onto greater things afterwards.

[lavrentis]

Zagorakis? Cant remember if he commanded a first team place week in week out but he was generally regarded as a decent player. However, he left and captained Greece to glory in 2004.

waay Zagorakis, what a legend .
