Tielemans63 Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Muzzy for me although Matt Elliott runs him a close second. I bloody loved TC as well - £500k from a Malaysian team, prob one of the best signings we've ever made. I get a bit misty eyed thinking about that side
glen parva fox Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Seen some great players over the years, for me it has to be Keith Weller
dpjfox Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 David Nish elegant stylish reliable bloody good full back
Monk Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 It's very very hard to pick just one, but I'll go for the unsung hero Pontus Kaamark. He was a rock at the back and was the difference in defence when it came to snubbing out creative strikers.
Weller in Tights Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Lots of good choices here but for me it has to be Weller, he is the most skilful player I have seen in a city shirt. Lineker, Muzzy, Banks, Wothington, Glover, Lennon and Walsh all worth a mention of course.
stockyfox Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Having been a City fan for 64 years, I fully understand why most of the players named so far were favourites with the fans. BUT there has been one player whose brilliance, indeed whose magic has never been superceded by any other player to 'wear the shirt', and who, for those like me, that were priviliged to see him play, was as exciting a player as any other, was wee Davie (bandy legs) Gibson. There are approx 1000 individuals who from 1884 to date have represented this Club and of course, you can only chose a favourite from those players you have seen. However, I still remember the deadly left-foot of Arthur Rowley, the skills of left winger Derek Hogg, and Albert Cheeseborough, the thunderbolt crosses from Howard Riley, and Willie Gardiner had no equal (so it seemed) but then we had Ken Keyworth. The two best keepers in the world played for Leicester, the incomparable Gordon Banks, until the even more incomparable Peter Shilton took over. Half-backs like Colin Appleton, Frank McLintock, Matt Elliott, and Centre halves like Tony Knapp, Ian King, Steve Walsh, Full Backs like Willie Cunningham, Pontus Kamark, John Sjoberg, Peter Rodrigues, Graham Cross, Keith Weller, Neil Lennon, Steve Walsh,Gary Llineker, Muzzy, Dave McLaren, David Nish, Casey Keller -Honestly I could write a book but that's already been written. It's called 'Fossils and Foxes'! Worth its weight in gold!
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Izzet. Best set-piece taker we've had. You obviously don't remember Steve Guppy then. Never seen a man with a better left foot than his at crossing a ball. As a kid growing up in an era of such stars like Walsh, Taggart, Elliott, Izzett, Lennon, Heskey I somehow loved Guppy the most. Feel sorry for fans a few years younger than me having only seen the shit we have produced in the last 10 years.
BoneDog Posted 25 February 2013 Posted 25 February 2013 Roberto Mancini or Nolberto Solano. Not really, got to think about this one.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Steve Lynex was my first hero watching the mighty Foxes along with Jim Melrose and Alan Young fairly early days aswell Since then, Pontus Kaamark, Muzzy Izzet, Neil Lennon Currently probably the Knockmeister
My Nads Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Lineker, although he didn't play for us in his prime, just look what he went on to achieve. As much as I like some other players I don't think they could have gone to Barcelona and kicked ass.

Feel sorry for fans a few years younger than me having only seen the shit we have produced in the last 10 years. Parker was a better set piece taker. Deadly accurate. Guppy was a wizard from open play though.
Jackirius Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Danny Tiato is the only man capable of getting us out of this mess.
ozleicester Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Gordon Banks! The greatest ever. Whether it was Pele or a dog... you dont get past Banks.
flowwolf Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Gordon Banks! The greatest ever. Whether it was Pele or a dog... you dont get past Banks. Unless it was a F.A cup final at Wembley.
flowwolf Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 For me it is not about who was the most gifted player but who had the biggest long term impact for the club, and I would say that is Steve Walsh. He always gave his best loved the club and switched between being a defender to a striker when we most needed it, plus his winning goal against Derby in the playoff final gave me the greatest day of my football supporting life. An absolute legend. :scarf:
Zingari Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Gordon Banks! The greatest ever. Whether it was Pele or a dog... you dont get past Banks. What gives Banksy the right to deny that little doggy a game of footy ? it's surely got as much right to play if he wants !
flowwolf Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 What gives Banksy the right to deny that little doggy a game of footy ? it's surely got as much right to play if he wants ! I thought someone had kicked it towards the goal ?

What gives Banksy the right to deny that little doggy a game of footy ? it's surely got as much right to play if he wants ! Surely youve watched our team over recent years, that dog might not have got a game.. but im pretty sure some of his decendents have or are still playing for us.

Kitchandro Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Izzet and Heskey. In the late 90s any kid in the playground who even remotely liked Leicester wanted to be one of those two.
MC Prussian Posted 26 February 2013 Posted 26 February 2013 Random choice, mainly because of his name :
