On This Day.

[SJN-Fox]

Today would have been Frank Worthington’s 75th birthday.

 

[Blaarev]

8(!) years ago today.

 

[Fox Fan]

8(!) years ago today.

Feels like this was later in the season than November!

 

[Brown Nose]

10 years ago today.

 

[Billyjof]

10 years today since a certain French/Algerian maestro joined us.

I have been overseas since before he joined, but I feel very lucky to have seen him play for us a few times.

So many great moments and contributions. His goal at Etihad though sticks out for its massive impact on the momentum.

Yes it was a little sad the way he left. At least he gave us a year in the Champions League.

 

[camberwell fox]

Probably the most naturally skilled winger we have ever had, beautiful to watch. His balance and close control were unparalleled, not to mention his goals.

Irreplaceable.

 

[Brown Nose]

Also, born on this date in 1987, in a backwater Yorkshire town, was a certain J.R Gill.

 

[Orifice]

We do now have Mr. Abdul Fatawu.
Not quite the same, but he is the new 'Who is this guy? He's amazing' bloke.
(Not born in a Yorkshire town - No comparison with Mr. Gill)

Such a special player, probably the most skillful I have ever seen to put on the blue jersey.

Many memories and images come to mind for the tricks he showed, particularly during THE season, but in particularly, there was a game where he feigned to shoot and sent 3 or 4 players on their arses which for me just tops the lot.

 

[Blue Maniac]

There’s part of me that still loves Mahrez, even though his paycheques get dirtier every time he moves. Can’t really hold a grudge against anyone who wants to further their career, especially when the alternative at the time was playing under Puel.

 

[Miles Away]

Best we ever had, Riyad. What a privilege to watch him in his prime.

Aston Villa was the game.

One memory for me... The first touch assist for Vardy to score against Man City at home.

The third goal here. His first touch pass to Slimani before the 1st goal isn’t too bad either.

That Andy King goal is superb

 

[H T B]

Touch of the Tom Cannon on the Vardy goals

 

[Flabby Owl]

Two delightful assists from one I. Slimani as well...

 

[Speedy1]

Oh that's just pure filth from Mahrez. In a difficult season, that game was unreal. Slimani looked like a player, outstanding from Vardy, wonder goal from King and Mahrez on a different planet.

 

[Miles Away]

What a time this was

What a time this was

Kind of sums up the journey.
