Assuming it was based on reputation the cliche line-up would probably be something like:

Banks

Nish
S. Walsh
Cross
McLintock

Weller
D. Gibson
S. Smith

Rowley
Lineker
Chandler

Though little is known about many of the pre-60s players, bar the really famous ones, so it's basically ignoring the majority of the club's history, obviously rendering it useless.

If it was based on players I can really remember, since I started really understanding football's dynamics as a spectator sport (around 2004-ish) it'd probably just be the line-up from the past couple of seasons. As anything before that I've put some kind of mental block over.

A good assortment of players - but you have picked a number of left sided players to play down the right (e.g. Nish & Rowley) and one or right sided players to play down the left (e.g. McLintock). Also, whilst Davie Gibson was a truly great player at club level - he was hardly the strongest tackler so I couldn't see him playing centre midfield in a 4-3-3. Of course that's the problem in mixing players from different eras- a number of those you mention belong in the days of 2-3-5(w formation)

As a Leicester fan who went week in, week out & saw some superb players & personalities during the club's Golden Era 1973 - 1983 this is a best 11 / 22 for all the old grizzlies out there....

1. Peter Shilton / Mark Wallington

2. Dennis Rofe / Gary Rowett
3. Steve Whitworth / David Nish

5. Steve Walsh / Bob Hazell
6. Russell Osman / Graham Cross

4. Ally Mauchlen / Bobby Smith
7. Kevin McDonald / Mark Draper
8. Gary McAllister / Muzzy Izzet
11. Keith Weller / Lenny Glover

9. Alan Young / Frank Worthington
10. Gary Lineker / Jim Melrose

This team would hold it's own against most current premiership sides and even Barcelona

I can see Walsh and Osman having Messi well and truly in their pocket :icon_lol:

The winning team.....

The team looks young, dynamic and talented except for one player.

The last match I played in was during the 1970s when we lost 13-0. As I was one of the worst of a bad bunch and at the gentle suggestion of the captain I realised it was time to bring my inglorious career to an end. Any few remaining shreds of credibility I have on this forum would go immediately if anyone here had ever seen me play.

I have always admired "has-beens" since in football I was a "never-was."
