srbfox Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 This is my first time starting atopic so apologies if it's in the wrong section or not in the interest of most. I have recently developed an unhealthy obsession with Arthur Chandler and am after any videos (I have done the usual youtube search) or memorabilia of the man himself. I could only find the bellow of city between the war years https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kJzCqnbOy9w I don't even know how to upload the film so a link will have to suffice for now. Hope you enjoy the film as I did
leicsmac Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Sadly I can't help with your search, but thanks for the video. It's interesting to see a true City legend from long ago. He still remains probably our finest striker ever - certainly the most prolific. Lineker might have gotten close had he stuck around for the greater part of his career at the club, but no one else comes close, Rowley possibly aside.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Him and Arthur Rowley were the 2 players my Grandad used to rave about everytime I talked about football with him. This was at the time when we had Ade Akinbiyi and Trevor Benjamin upfront and he always used to say that Chandler would be turning in his grave seeing those twats wearing the blue shirt.
srbfox Posted 2 December 2014 Author Posted 2 December 2014 Am I right in thinking he has scored the most goals in the top flight or was that jimmy greaves?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Great stuff, from great players. Arthur Rowley,Channy (Chandler), Sep Smith, remain legends from that era. I grew up watching attacking football, which was truly entertaining. Today, I just don't enjoy the style of the game.

Guest MattP Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Cheers, that was an absolutely fantastic watch. Some brilliant sporting scenes in there I would love to have been at, the Australians at Aylestone, 12, 000 at Granby Halls to watch a Leicester fighter win a heavyweight title. 47,000 at Filbert Street for an FA Cup tie would be something as well. That 29' season still haunts doesn't it? What a monkey off the clubs back it would have been to have won that precious league title.
Kitchandro Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Am I right in thinking he has scored the most goals in the top flight or was that jimmy greaves? Arthur Rowley, it was. Rowley is the football league's top scorer, not the top flight.
Sampson Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Jimmy Greaves is the top scorer in the top flight. Arthur Rowley is the top scorer in all 4 divisions.
6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 2 December 2014 Posted 2 December 2014 Scored 6 goals in our record 10-0 win over Portsmouth! If I had a time machine I'd be tempted to go to that game to see if 5 swans did fly past Filbo, and when a sixth swan flew past Channy then scored his 6th!
