Nalis Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Reputation etc. I'm sure that not many of us saw Sir Tom Finney play but he was undoubtably a great player. Just ignore me, I was only jumping in before some other smart arse said it. As for the q, I'd go Rowley as well. In terms of all time, someone like Dixie Dean.
Izzy Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Frankie Wortho. Stood next to him in the urinals at Toddington services on the way to the Derby play off final. Hundreds of City fans in the bogs singing "there's only one Frankie Wortho" as he pissed all over his brogues with embarrassment. #legend
weller54 Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Zidane, ... By a million miles, watched Real Madrid play Malaga approx 2005/6?....glided his way around the pitch.. Beautiful to watch.

Tielemans63 Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Zidane, ... By a million miles, watched Real Madrid play Malaga approx 2005/6?....glided his way around the pitch.. Beautiful to watch. I love the fact that this thread is about the best Leicester player you never saw play and you've gone with a player who never played for us who you did see play I'll go with Davie G. Not that Davie G but the other one. Lineker, Lynex and Wortho would have been good too.
I blame Wellens Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Weller and Worthington for me...clips show just how good they wereYep as a city fan from the 80s onwards this has to be the one for me.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Gordon Banks I guess. Ah, Mark, you would have appreciated him. His anticipation of where the ball would come, was second to none. I can remember newspaper reports that described him as being "more reliable than Superman"! He was.
Izzy Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Izzet Can't believe there's young dudes on here that never saw Muzzy play. I feel really bloody old now! Only seems like yesterday that him, Lenny and Savage were bossing midfields across the lands - happy days. Izzet was quality. Great touch, great vision, great range of passing and scored some pearlers. Chelsea should never have let him go.
Izzy Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Gary Coatsworth You missed a real treat. He definitely had the best hair cut of any Leicester player - ever. Like bald with an inch rim of hair. Remember his first few touches in a Wembley final ending up in row Z. Then he went on to own a pub in Broughton Astley I think. Good luck to him.
GaelicFox Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 not leicester but I saw and met maradona in Naples in just before Italia 90 , my uncle was a leading mechanic with boats the owner of Napoli had a huge boat and my uncle had to fly out and service the engine and fix a few issues was a 6 day trip he took me with him for company , Napoli we're going to be champions and he knew the owner as he had serviced the engine before and the owner liked him , the owner Mr Ferlindio invited my uncle pat and me to the game that weekend and after the match Diego Maradona came to the club owners suite we were in there and I got to shake Maradona's hand , funny wasn't the famous hand , NO CAMERA , NO PHONES for pictures but the memory of the day a true sporting God shook my hand , I was 15 and when we got back from Italy no one believed me , till uncle Pat produced his programme team sheet signed by one Diego Maradona , he later donated that to a charity auction and some one paid €500 for it , looking back I really didn't have a clue how lucky I was to have had that experience
weller54 Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Thought the thread was about the best Leicester player you never saw play. Did we sign Zidane when I wasn't watching Topic title is.. Best footballer you ever watched?... Not.. Best Footballer who played for Leicester you ever watched???
Izzy Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Topic title is.. Best footballer you ever watched?... Not.. Best Footballer who played for Leicester you ever watched??? The chap who posted it said: "and I was wondering what is the best Leicester player that you never saw and wish you could have?" Just saying...

Collibosher70 Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 I would have liked to have watched frankie wortho..or Stanley Matthews.
Donut Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Weller, Worthington, Banks, Nish, Whitworth, Lineker, Rowley, Chandler...........the list is plentiful
orbison Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 difficult to come to a conclusion, for international recognition its either banks or lineker, from the world stage garrincha for me.
maxwelld_ Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Weller I suppose. Lynex, Lineker, Gibson all contenders. Like said above, can only really judge by reputation. Fortunate enough to have been a kid through the Little and O'Neil success of recent years including being in the Kop for our mugging by the refs vs Atletico. I was there in pen 1 aswell joke that game was
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I've always admired Keith Weller on video, so probably him. There were probably some greats from the 1950s I'll never see anything of due to the lack of video.
stingray Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Saw the Brazilian Ronaldo play twice for Barca when Bobby Robson was manager. Scored a hat-trick both times, as they beat Athletico home and away (who were champs at the time). Best player in a LCFC shirt? Saw Lineker many times and he was an assassin, and I'd rate Worthington up there too
