liamsm Posted 14 December 2011 Posted 14 December 2011 Except, if my old memory serves me right, at the exact point in time, Stoke paid us a lot of money for him and so were seen to be more ambitious than us - I couldn't believe he went there, but accepted they must have been determined to better themselves by buying a big name- also, with hindsight, maybe he thought time to move on as the Weller/Wortho era was not going to get any higher. I can remember the "Wortho ... your Mrs.. " chant at Stoke away not long after he left us. It was also chanted at Filbert street qiute often
I am Rod Hull Posted 15 December 2011 Posted 15 December 2011 We sold Banks to Stoke to keep him happy and keep him here. Of course he is going to arse lick Florest fans it's now his bread and butter. The good thing is he is no pundit on tv ( to thick even by tele standards ) and he could hardly Write for a newspaper sports page ( illiterate ) so no harm done then.
BNET Posted 15 December 2011 Posted 15 December 2011 I have no doubt that Shiltons team is Leicester, you can't change your side. You can have a soft spot for another, but you've got them for life, it's. An option. That day l told him about when I was a kid collecting autographs at the training ground and he gave me and my mate a lift in his car to Filbert street. He said he did that because David Gibson did the same for him, when he was a kid collecting autographs, trust me he's Leicester. The greatest goalkeeper that I've seen, better than Banks.
Captain... Posted 15 December 2011 Posted 15 December 2011 Jesus, most of you sound like bitter little children, former player expresses honest opinion that happens to not lavish over the top praise on Leicester, and he is a traitorous cvnt, and yet most that are being bitter will slag the team off all day long here in the name of being a true fan.
flowwolf Posted 15 December 2011 Posted 15 December 2011 No one has called him a traitorous cvnt--though come to think of :thumbup: :thumbup: good call.
Orkneyfox Posted 16 December 2011 Posted 16 December 2011 Found this in Wikipedai. It was the first game I went to see Leicester on my own. I lived in Hampshire and had to make do with following Portsmouh for my live football (I know!). it was quite intimidating going to the Dell on my own and not as part of the Leicester support. I managed to find my way to the away supporters end and watched as Shilton caught the ball, kicked it up field and the ball bounced and flew over Forsyth's head into the net. A bit hairy gettting back to the railway station but a great afternoon out none the less. "Shilton settled into first team life thereafter, even managing to score a goal at The Dell against Southampton in October 1967 direct from a clearance at the opposite end of the pitch. The Southampton goalkeeper, Campbell Forsyth, misjudged Shilton's long punt upfield, which, instead of splashing harmlessly in the mud, spun off The Dell pitch and flew over Forsyth's head into the goal. "The Saints" lost the game 5–1.[7]"
