5waller5 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 The bald centre mid that followed brian Little to Villa .... Can't remember his name, but he was so good he just stood in the centre of the park and ran the game.
bluebeau Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 What about 'Elvis' Frankie Wortho ? What a popular guy with the supporters. David 'Cheat' Speedie was amazing. The supporters hated him when he arrived, but he soon had them cheering him. You hated the guy if he played for the opposition, but loved him if he played for your club. I had a pint with him at Filbert Street, he was a great character, I wish we could find another Speedie!

5waller5 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Mark Draper? Yes!!!! Mark Draper?? Yes!!!!! Thanks guys .... that was driving me nuts trying to remember his name!!!!!
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Yes!!!! Yes!!!!! Thanks guys .... that was driving me nuts trying to remember his name!!!!! Draper was very good for the first 6 months then played like he didn't give a shit for the rest of the season, knowing full well he would be on his way and we were going down. Very good player but inspirational signing? No chance! Steve Thompson on the other hand... Also Matt Elliott. Came from Oxford and I do not know one person who at the time thought good signing. Proved to be one of the best defenders I have seen in my lifetime at Leicester. If he was a little bit quicker he would have played at one of the big 4.

Jacnah Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Robert Mancini. Extremely short lived though, how many games did he play for us.... 8-10???? and most definitely NOT influential.....

Proved to be one of the best defenders I have seen in my lifetime at Leicester. If he was a little bit quicker he would have played at one of the big 4. I don't disagree .... Got a feeling he got injured didn't he and that was when his performances dropped?? Or it could have been that he just realised he was far too good for the players around him .... My point was in response to the question, who had the biggest impact from the first game .... and he changed the way we played overnight and was a massive influence ... literally everything went through him in midfield. There's only one player I can think of that had more influence straight from their first game and that's Sir Les .... and he's already been mentioned. Actually Corica made an instant impression before he broke his leg.
5waller5 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Search on utube for "Mark Drapers staggering intellect" a good watch! That's a fantastic find!!! Really funny .... John Gregory's comments were brilliant!!
weller54 Posted 29 August 2014 Author Posted 29 August 2014 I think a figure like cambiasso walking out with the team can lift EVERYONE.. that's what you class as influential!!??.....
Will1981 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Mick Galloway was a legend was gutted we didn't sign him after his 1 month loan.
5waller5 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 was a legend was gutted we didn't sign him after his 1 month loan. Seems strange we didn't ... would love to know the reason!
TrentFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Seems strange we didn't ... would love to know the reason!Possibly because we had about 38p to our name at the time?
