Unfulfilled Potential

[shepshedfox]

Another ex Leicester player who was going to be the next big thing is out of work today as Tommy Wright has his contract cancelled at Aberdeen.

A couple more I can think of are Joachim (Never reached the heights everyone expected) and Neil Lewis. Who else showed promise and never made it??

The current squad!

 

[Kingy_85]

Jon Stevenson ?

 

[Kingy_85]

Tomi Petrescu ?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Chris O'Grady? Matt Heath? Erm... Stuart Wilson? Stuart Campbell? Danny Thomas?

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Considering he is a bumbling donkey who couldn't hit a barn door, Heskey hasn't made a bad career for himself.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Matt Piper?
Ryan McGivern?

gareth williams

 

[Cate Fox]

Matt Piper?
Ryan McGivern?

Wasnt it an injury that finished Piper?

 

[4-4-2]

Chris O'Grady? Matt Heath? Erm... Stuart Wilson? Stuart Campbell? Danny Thomas?

Jon Ashton, who I thought looked better in the Premier League than he did for us in the Championship. Didn't stay too long. Had a decent throw on him.

Martin Reeves, Ricky Sappleton (!!!) and Eric Odiambo.

James Wesolowski?

Wasnt it an injury that finished Piper?

Yes, but could still be described as "unfulfilled potential".

Always thought Reeves could play a bit...boy was I wrong.

I saw him playing for Oadby Town earlier in the season

Chris O'Grady is the one for me. In my opionion i'm not sure he was given a fair crack. I'd like to have seen him given a run in the side as he looked like he had the right make up for a striker.

I know people will say he has found his level at Rochdale where he is banging them in now but i have a feeling he'll go higher than that and maybe reach championship level.

I agree.

There is not much difference between league 2 and 1 so he should score a lot in league one to be honest, the step up to the Championship is a bit bigger but Fryatt has scored eleven in it so anything is possible.

Norman Leet....Captained the England U16's but was probably the worst player I have seen in a Leicester shirt in 35 years of watching them

Worse than Carl Cort or Shaun Newton?!?!!

 

[Doggie_muz]

Worse than Carl Cort or Shaun Newton?!?!!

or Junior Lewis? or Alan Rogers?

This may be a controversial call, but I think Alan Rogers was worse than McGivern.
