Craig Shakespeare Sadly Passed away

[ousefox]

Such sad news. What a brilliant bloke and a huge part of the best days of my life watching this club. 

 

I don't know if the evening watching Seville at home will ever be matched.

[Corky]

The club was in an absolute state when he arrived with Big Nige and Steve Walsh. There was a real danger we would drift into nothingness. Within two years we were nearly back in the top flight. 

 

The title win and Sevilla match will always be most remembered but that early spell was enormous.

[trugerkem]

So so sad 😞 

[lgfualol]

Absolutely devastating news.

[Ric Flair]

Absolutely devastated.

 

Genuine salt of the earth and one of the most influential people in the history of our football club.

 

Privileged we felt his presence again in 2023, almost means more now that does.

 

Rest in peace you lovely man

RIP... legend for the club and how sad for his family

[hebangsthedrums]

RIP Shakey - legend and by all, literally all, accounts a top bloke.

 

For me would be a great gesture by the club that if the 'dogs of war' tifo wasn't kept, they write the UFS lads a blank cheque to come up with something in tribute (and don't interfere in any way)

Will never forget that night against Sevilla, the best game and atmosphere I’ve witnessed at the KP. 

 

RIP Shakey 💙

That's been my favourite night/atmosphere that I will remember forever, RIP Shakey! 60 is too young 😢

This is so heart breaking :'( R.I.P shake always thought someday he would come back just in the background of lcfc. True legend!

[OntarioFox]

I've been stuck on a particularly shit shift all day, just got off and this is the first thing I hear. Puts my petty issues into perspective. Absolutely gutting, it's only been just over a year since he was last with us too. 😭

Hope we come out for the first game of the season with a ball under each arm.

 

RIP Shakey.

[Jaspa]

A top class man by all accounts, his first game with the club where we were at our lowest point ever - MK Dons at home in League 1 - to be the one to lead his team out at the furthest we've ever made it in elite class of continental football, Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter.

 

Too young to have known him as a player. A West Brom hero. Many more are mourning for him. Regards to his family.

 

Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Yep, that has done me.

 

Rest in Peace Shakey.

 

Even your namesake couldn't write a story as beautiful as the one you lived.

 

Legend.

RIP Shakey

So very very sad indeed. What a great servant to Leicester City he was. Always appeared down to earth and seemingly very well respected by his players. Part of a great management team in our history. 

[Detroit Blues]

It seems like whenever he went he was loved by all the players and the fans. I hope the club honors him in some way for his loyal years of service. 

[Lincolnfox]

This is a tough one. Even though many of us never had the pleasure of meeting him, he touched us all with so many great memories.

[cruzFOX]

There is no doubt without this great man’s involvement our team would not have achieved all that it did and the club be forever known around the world going down in the history books. Being the glue to hold it all together between nige & Claudio than being Claudio’s right hand man especially with the translating. The players will be devastated by this loss. Condolences to shakey’s family. Sad day. RIP 🙏🏽

[indierich06]

Absolutely awful. Dreadful, dreadful news. 

[wurmer]

RIP Craig. 

[Webbo]

What a terrible shock, such a genuine guy.

[Fox42]

Absolutely shocked and devastated - RIP Shakey. I will always remember March 14th 2017.

[CloudFox]

Awful, awful news. Thoughts are with his family. Only 60 too.

 

You'll be remembered and missed dearly by us Foxes, Shakey. RIP, good sir.

RIP Shakey  I never knew you but you were the "magic dust" during LCFC's greatest moments & you'll never be forgotten in Leicester City folklore
