Keown was heart breaking, really. When he signed I thought we'd got a great professional that would do a solid job and add balance. 

 

He was shit and obviously hated the club.

Good to see Danny Drinkwater score for Reading today 

Agreed.

 

Absolutely loved him when he was here and glad he's back playing regular. 

[Sloth]

Trying to get an interview with my main Kasey Keller for a research paper I am writing. I have heard he is accomodating so fingers crossed.

It’s weird how certain moves can just completely ruin players careers, non more so then his to Chelsea. I know Kante was on another level when we won the league but Danny was also absolutely amazing. 

[Miella27]

The simplistic view held by many is that he was no good without Kante, but the often overlooked and forgotten point is, Drinkwater was superb the season after we won the league (Without Kante) - IMO his best season.

He is still underrated by some of our fans. People forget how good he actually was.

I couldn’t agree more. Somewhere I have an FT post from the pre-match thread for our first match of the 2013-14 season, against Middlesbrough. Read something like “Drinkwater and Vardy starting? Madness! Pearson out, now!” Needless to say, both scored.

 

Drinkwater has made a lot of mis-steps since he left us, but he’s still a brilliant player.

He was one of the only players to turn up in the league that season

Was very good against Sevilla in the CL

I think "his best season" might be pushing it a bit given just how good he was in 13/14 and 15/16. He was the only one who looked bothered pre-Christmas, mind.

Did you notice DD was against 2 former loany’s loanies (how you spell that 🤷‍♂️) in Ryan Bennet and Kyle Naughton, Kyle was the JJ of the time a RB playing LB for us & he now playing CB.
Wanted us to sign him permanently but I think Spurs were messing us and him about saying they would play him but he ended up going to Norwich on loan the following season before getting some proper game time with Spurs.

[Rain King]

I'm sure Naughton played right back for us almost exclusively.

 

Edit: Just checked, he did play right back every match.

 

Several left backs throughout the season including Cunningham and Van Aanholt.

You right as we got PVA although he then got injured so maybe Kyle played on the left at some point which stuck in the grey matter longer?

Probably his Spurs career he played as a LB more?

[Langston]

I thought Naughton was going to pick up an England cap at some point in his career, he was outstanding for us in that Sven side.

 

Seems to have wound up stuck in that weird purgatory of being too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for the top flight.

Think in his few appearances for Spurs he played left back as Walker was right back.

I know chilwell is in this video but it’s more about my post is about Colin Gordon who played for us in the early 90s.

How Leicester’s youngest debutant became a non-league cult hero
 

Ashley Chambers Leicester
Sean Cole3rd December 2021
Of all the players to represent Leicester City, nobody has done so at a younger age than Ashley Chambers.

He was just 15 years and 203 days old when he stepped off the bench to make his professional debut at home to Blackpool in the League Cup in September 2005.

I agree with you on three but Dion Dublin was the only shing light on what was a drab era.

Dublin was terrible. Could no longer cut it up front, moved him to centre back and was equally as bad.

I remember we played Barnsley at home and Drinkwater on loan from Man U was the stand out player on the pitch.

We signed him shortly after and I was delighted. He didn’t disappoint.
