    @StringerSport: Andy King confirmed on BBC Radio Leicester, after making his 250th app for The Foxes, he'd like to stay an #lcfc player for life

    Great goal by Kingy. Typical cool finish, great servant to the club

    Andy King is 1 goal off becoming the clubs all time midfield top scorer

    King has 51 goals and Davie Gibson has 52

    Don't even try to compare King with the LEGENDARY Dave Gibson! he might get the goals BUT he will
    never have the class!

    Fair comment! but stat's can be misleading Gibson was a play-maker, did not score a lot himself! but created chances for others
    If we only had somebody like him in the last Leeds game, he would have broke them down, and we would not have had to watch the
    dross that was served up.

    Incredible that at his age he has 250 games and 51 goals for us really. Often sparks debate on this board but it looks like he's starting to really play to the best of his ability now, even if he might not match that incredible 15-goal season he had for us a couple of years back.

    Gibbo was probably one of the 4 or 5 most skillful players Ive seen in a Leicester shirt in the last 51 years---if not the most skillful

    King is a great finisher and has that ability to lose his marker as well. Great right foot from distance and can just ghost into the box to score; pops up from nowhere. A classic goal scoring midfielder - a poor man's Frank Lampard.

    I've always said that if he isn't scoring, he doesn't offer much else but when he's on his game he can be devastating at this level. It's about having the right players around him - he worked brilliantly with Oakley because he could push forward. Not the most creative player but (to use a football cliche) midfielders who score goals are a precious commodity.
