davieG Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 villains of the club - alan shearer for his kick at neil lennons head. dennis wise for absolutely everything. mark mcgee for his comments on wolves being a bigger club when he left. not alot of people know - the old filbert street had an exact replica of the staue of liberty in the corner of the ground, (reduced in size of course) That's because it aint so. the Statue of Liberty replica used to be on the top of the Liberty Shoe Factory on the corner of Walnut St & Eastern Boulevard. It was taken down when the factory was demolished so they could build student accommodation and was supposed, under the planning regulations to have been put atop of the new building but as often happens this was ignored. It's now been placed atop of a plinth on the traffic island as you approach the site of the old Liberty Factory and the new student accommodation. more info - http://www.le.ac.uk/emoha/leicester/liberty.html
mikey54 Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Keith Weller (can't believe I'm saying this). I remember him refusing to come out for the second half against Ipswich (I think). Maybe not a villain as such - but no player is bigger than the club
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Kevin Pressman for letting another keeper score.
The Doctor Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Les Ferdinand????? Fans player of the year that year players player of the year that year your having a larrrrfffffff!He was too old and retired........ however city payed for surgery for his knee problems after the season and then as soon as the surgery was done he walked out for bolton. seems pretty twatish to me.
Tommy G Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Kevin Pressman for letting another keeper score. Frank Sinclair for scoring 15 OG's a season.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Frank Sinclair for scoring 15 OG's a season. But to be fair Sinclair did very well for us, and won the player of the season award too I think. Any way another villain: Billy Sharp for diving all over the place.
breadandcheese Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 I remember hearing that we sold Spencer Prior because one of the players (either Steve Walsh or Matt Elliott) was sleeping with his wife and it got out. Prior was deemed the most expendable, which is pretty harsh considering it wasn't his fault.
jonah Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 That's because it aint so. the Statue of Liberty replica used to be on the top of the Liberty Shoe Factory on the corner of Walnut St & Eastern Boulevard.

Shrenchel Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Are you related to Walkers? You've supported city since the 70s and never went to Filbert Street?
Criggers Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 Villains: Martin Keown.......being the catalyst for Micky Adam's departure eg bust up at QPR away. Didn't Keown get upset as LCFC didn't fly to away matches? He's just a twat. He's a crap pundit too
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 He's just a twat. He's a crap pundit too I echo that. Fugly ucker

Prior was deemed the most expendable, which is pretty harsh considering it wasn't his fault. It was Walshy allegedly Just one of many... allegedly
Fox92 Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Shearer for booting Lennon square in the face and then holding the FA to Ransom so he would not get banned! Cunt! Agreed. That's why I have never ever liked Shearer since. I echo that. Fugly ucker How dare you? 'Keown is beautiful'
jonah Posted 5 September 2009 Posted 5 September 2009 Are you related to Walkers? You've supported city since the 70s and never went to Filbert Street? ive been to filbert street and the walkers many a time, i was a season ticket holder when i lived in loughborough. (and hopefully i,l be again if my move back up goes ahead.) i just never bothered looking for the statue................
thybluefox Posted 7 September 2009 Posted 7 September 2009 2. Nicky Platnauer was on the short list to become Britain's first astronaut but failed the medical Just asked him, no he wasn't
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Just putting this one out there... is Mr Robbie Savage becoming a little bit of a villian these days? Another, most certain twat is Junior Lewis, love child to the already mentioned idiot that is and was Peter Taylor. Lee Marshall would also be in that catorgory, but I beleive we actually managed to sell him for money. Who else has narked me off that hasn't be mentioned? Leeds Football Club and its followers Plymouth Argile and its follows (except for Paul Whitehouse) Chris Kamara Andrew Impy - take you hands out of your sleeves young man!
carterfox90 Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Shearer for booting Lennon square in the face and then holding the FA to Ransom so he would not get banned! Cunt! defo for me hate the guy after that just because he was england captain he got away with even though all the tv replays showed how blatant it was & of course it was only us & we know how the FA has something against us shearer you are a T#SSER
davieG Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Crap players can't really be classed as villains unless they totally didn't try or their name is Denis Wise.
ramboacdc Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 Villains: Martin Keown.......being the catalyst for Micky Adam's departure eg bust up at QPR away. Didn't Keown get upset as LCFC didn't fly to away matches? he did go mardy about not flying i remember reading it in a program when we signed him. I didnt realise adams left for that reason i thought he was all but shown the door just had to step through it.
hackneyfox Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 Yep, ignore all the stuff about players as villains as that changes every few months, with the honorable exception of Dennis Wise of course. The two villains in our history are: Frank Mclintock (fewest points and goals scored at the time I believe), a truly woeful season from start to finish, I remeber the kop going wild when we got a corner. Peter Taylor for taking a very good side and screwing it and the club. This question should perhaps be asked on Bentleys Rood where the posters are of a different generation and have many years of watching shite to get off their chests.
