lcfc_jme Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 suprised to see no mention of ricky sappleton, didn't you have some love of the man a couple of years back? Ricky Sappleton definitely got a lot of love from me whilst here, but he just never really got his chance to play for us so it'd be foolish to put him in there.
sdb Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Sappleton will come good. Jesus, be patient people. (yes i thought this was the worst player thread)
ibbosuk Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 agreed is he still The last Leicester player to score a hat-trick against Liverpool ? ( in City's 3-2 win at Filbert Street in August 1972.) he was until a few years ago but not sure now great memories of him Wow!!!!! Remember that game like it was yesterday probably the best game I ever saw at filbert Street. I Sat in disbelief as we beat Liverpool 3-2 after being 2-0 down, Liverpool were top of the league and we were rock bottom!! For me Keith Weller is the best player I have ever seen in a Leicester City shirt. (By a mile)
Earlydoorsjones Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Many players have been icons or heros to the fans (Tommy Wright, Sir Les et al.) but I am assuming that the absolute 'best' players that City have produced are: Gary Lineker and Peter Shilton. The thing is, many of the 20,000 that go to the matches now have not seen these two actually play for City - just watched video clips of them. But, you can make Kleberson look a good player from video clips (as any Man Utd fan can attest). I also feel that the players to have their best years at the club, and therefore could be considered the Club's best players include: Gordon Banks, Frank Worthington, Keith Weller Steve Walsh and Muzzy Izzet (and from what I have been told, Sep Smith - check him out in the archives). I know Im going off the track here, but for me, it is the players like Ian Marshall, Matt Elliot, Tony Cottey, Steve Claridge, Neil Lennon, Gerry Taggart, Steve Thompson, Kevin Russell and David Speedie that make this club worth supporting - players that go beyond their expected levels of performance whilst wearing the Blue. Not just the recognised best, but the terrace icons. I was also a big fan of Gary Mills in the late 80's and early 90's. Not the best player in the history of the Club but won player of the season (possibly twice???). What we would give for a 28 year old Mills in the current squad??? Berner one side, Mills the other - I can feel a song coming on. "Gary Mills, Gary Mills, running down the wing..."
Blue Bob Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Couldn't pick just one out. Tommy wright - loved watching him bomb up that wing! Joachim - just for the pure excitement that something would happen, you always felt we were a threat Walsh - just a legend Kaamark - class Izzet - great player all round Rooster - some quality performances when needed in the run up to play offs Collymore - here just a short time, the Sunderland game showed his talent, shame he got injured. Speedie / Dickov, hard to separate but always pick on big defenders itching for a scrap, amusing as hell to watch!
ajthefox Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Muzzy for me. He was the one who held the team together post MON and I am slightly too young to appreciate just how good most of the MON era was. Having said that, I have soft spots for Walshy and Guppy. I will always remember getting an autograph off Walshy when I was about 7 at my local newsagents. On a very old football, amongst a mass of signatures to whom they belong I don't know, I will always treasure what Walshy's.
mr9 Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 My heroes were Steve Lynex and erm, Jim Melrose. I moved to Oz in 1990 and, to my huge disappointment, missed out on the whole O'Neill era - I would have love to have seen Collymore in a City shirt though.....
FOXMAN2 Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 For me the 1 and only Arthur Rowley (shows my age) never stopped scoring goals ,- and what a shot with his left foot. If only we had a player like him on the books now who knew where the back of the net was :city:
Jakemoore Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 Izzet, although I was young when he played. Steve Howard, just because I can see he has genuine love for the fans, and he always scores against dirty Leeds. Izzet, although I was young when he played.

ithuriel Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 Neil Lennon, quality battling defensive midfield player who complemented izzets attacking style perfectly.

Carlos9 Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 All about Mustafa! He loved playing for us, was a shame when he went
molineuxphil Posted 26 October 2010 Posted 26 October 2010 the doog , was/is many fans favourite , but wasn't really with us very long , still managed to get 35 goals in 68 apps though Just loved the Doog while he was at Leicester ,i was present at Anfield when he scored two amazing goals in the Kop end 66 ,unfortunatly Ciity went down 2-3 to a very good Liverpool team. , but one of my fondest memories of The Doog was his debute for Wolves at Molineux v Hull with loads of Leicester fans making the trip ,and he did not dissapoint either scoring a stunning three goals.
