The Worst Leicester Player

[camberwell fox]

Can't believe Ade Akinbiyi hasnt had a mention. Though he may have... and I just haven't seen?

Go to the search function and type the word *shit* in, it will bring up many references to Ade Panikbiyi.

Did Neilson ever play for the first team? In a competitive match, obviously.

Robbie Neilson played lots of games.

But I don't think Jimmy Nielsen ever played a competitive game for us.

Just on the 2007-8 roster alone there is a worst XI to rival any others.

Neilsen Newton Kishiishev Worley Clapham Kaebi Laczko Bori Etuhu Hellings Cort

Bench
Hammond (ankle) Sappleton Alnwick Bell Hayes
Is it any wonder we got relegated

7 midfielders. Could’ve done with you in the dugout that season.

Akinbiyi is a classic example of a good Championship player being not nearly good enough for the Premier League. I'll not hear a word said against him - let's face it, if the members of the real worst XI had shown a tenth of his guts and application they'd have been... ...midtable

 

[Blue Maniac]

Does Danny Cadamarteri deserve a mention? He seems to me to be one of many, many signings who simply added nothing to the squad.

 

[Blaarev]

Harry Kane

Yeah, he worked his nads off but ultimately just wasn’t good enough for the top level. Perfectly fine second tier player and far better than many of those mentioned.

Yup, never stopped trying either. He started with a decent enough return too but as you say the rest were a ****ing shambles. He just happens to be the most expensive of the bad bunch.

BM said Stephen Hughes, alex

Sort him out

I love Homeywomeypants

Harry Kane

Do you know, it’s awful that it feels true. Was he really that bad at our place? I have terrible memories of him being useless.

5-4-1 systems here
Kishiishev did play as a defender when he later returned to Bulgaria
Also he was retained the following season by Nigel for his interpretation skills for new City player Tunchev.
Nielsen
Kaebi Kishiishev Worley Clapham Laczko
Bori Etuhu Hellings Newton
Cort

Truncheon was amazing



I'll keep that as it's pretty funny. Obviously meant Tunchev

Possibly the worst player ever to get his name sung when he came on. We had to make our own fun in that era.

I kind of feel that a worst ever has to have played a decent number of games - at least 20 or so - so for me that rules out Worley, Blake, Jarrett, Bori etc. (though I'll never forget Jarrett turning a full circle attempting to control a pass). Stephen Hughes was a flyweight but not even the worst midfielder in the team at the time. Junior Lewis played at least one good game before it became obvious he was shit. I'd opt for a messy fight between Wise, Josh Low and Elvis Hammond, all of whom were truly atrocious.

Ian Ormandroyd anyone?

Awful player, his second touch was always a tackle.

I wouldn't agree, honestly. For example, if Momo Sylla's LCFC career had terminated at Bramall Lane, we still would have known exactly how shit he was. Nothing he did after that made him a better or worse player.

He is the only player I remember where any pass played more than 2 yards in front of him was allowed to go for a throw.

Iheanacho.

 

[glyn]

Iheanacho.

I thought he grew into the match a bit today. Definitely too early to call.
