7 years ago today my best friend and when I was younger my hero, passed away way much too young. May he rest in peace and may we all remember those memorable moments he gave us all as fans !

An exceptional talent in a pretty talented team at the time.

Well said. I'm too young to appreciate those moments but as a footballer and person I've only heard great things.

Yeah and last night they showed on Strictly clips from the 1974 FA Cup Final due to fact that Brucie was there and so could have been Keith me and a lot more City fans. I f only we had drawn Burnley or Newcastle in the Semi Final. Liverpool were becoming the team of the decade so not a surprise we lost , even if it took a replay. But I'm sure City and Keith in particular would have graced that final more so than Newcastle United and Malcolm McDonald did in what was one of the most one sided FA Cup Finals of the 70's or indeed ever.
Keith I am sure would have loved to have been there that day and would have given Keegan and Co a run for their money.

I agree what a great man. My 1st away game was that Luton game at the start of the clip. I was also mascot in the 70s against Man Utd on a night game, and we won. Keith was the captain and made my day that much better, such a gent. Still the best player to wear the blue shirt (for me anyway). RIP

My dad described him as the best player ever to play for the club, I can only describe him as a Leicester legend, I wish I could of seen him play, those who have are lucky

As with many others of my era my favourite player with Frankie Wortho
love this one
When we had a similar thread on Keith in the Summer his brother Phil joined TB and made a few posts. I don't think he has posted since.

I assume you mean outfield player, or do you think he was better than Gordon Banks?

Depends how you rate a player I suppose, Banks was without a doubt one of the very best, if not the best, player to play for the club in terms of ability. But some would rank Weller up there for the fact that he was an absolute joy to watch, even if he wasn't as talented as someone like Banks.

Do I think he was better than Banks? Well if you can compare apples with pears then yes I think he was better. I am not sure though comparing an outfield player with a goalie is viable. If you ask me which one I would rather have in my side it would be Weller, no contest.
I also thought Shilton was better than Banks actually but that is a whole new debate I guess.
