    Reading Proud Foxes article about Tommy Wright (not the original one) It got me wondering, what players from yesteryear do you most fondly remember ?

    Iwan Roberts (the goals & that smile), Muzzy Izzet (work rate & LCFC legend), Gary Lineker (need I say more) to name but a few.

    Frank Large playing with a broken nose and heading the ball and hitting the bar from the edge of the area and watching the bar bounce for a full minute.
    Graham Cross starting with a red face and watching it turn near purple as the game progressed.
    Colin Appleton - probably the best centre back I have seen in a City shirt.

    Most of O'Neill's team, Walshie, Izzet, Heskey, Lennon and Elliott in particular. Can't remember anything before that.

    Those were the days. It was so funny when he scored a goal.. a LCFC legend all the same.
