To pick the best ever XI is much more exciting. We have done this bringing different aspects to the table. Results achieved, climbing levels in performance, transfer fee paid and transfer fee gained.
The goalkeeper is surely difficult, but looking at medals and development you surely will get the idea. Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton were both rated among the best goalkeepers in the World. Banks even a World Cup winner with England in 1966. Mark Wallington was a long servant, so was Kasper Schmeichel. So with that in mind from a Leicester perspective, Kasper Schmeichel will be the winner of this position. Kasper Schmeichel is rated the most important and best goalkeeper ever at this football club. Signed by Sven Goran Eriksson for a £1million from Leeds. Premier League and FA Cup winner with Leicester. No other goalkeeper at this club has achieved that. Position: Goalkeeper, Seasons: 2011 to 2022, League Games: 414, League Goals: 0, Transfer Fee In: £1million, Transfer Fee Out: 0, Nation: Denmark, Manager: Sven Goran Eriksson
The left back position was also a battle. David Nish became the choice. He was a natural, played 228 league games for Leicester. When sold to Derby for £225.000 in 1972, this became a British transfer record fee. He was captain of the Leciester side reaching the 1969 FA Cup final. He performed at the highest level for Leicester, and broke into the England team during that time. Christian Fuchs, Ben Chilwell and Dennis Rofe were other players to chose from in this category, Position: Left-Back, Seasons: 1967 to 1972, League Games: 228, League Goals: 25, Transfer Fee In: 0, Transfer Fee Out: £225.000 Nation: England, Manager: Matt Gillies
In central defence we a number of players in competition. Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan would probably be the natural pick. We will go for those two. Morgan as a captain and long servant, Maguire becoming an England international while at the club and of course his massive £80million transfer to Manchester United. Wes Morgan is a symbol of that rise to the Premier League title, as well as being in the squad and getting on the pitch for the FA Cup final a few years later. Position: Central-Defence, Seasons: 1991 to 1997, League Games: 277, League Goals: 11, Transfer Fee In: £1million, Transfer Fee Out: 0, Nation: Jamaica, Manager: Nigel Pearson
Harry Maguire made the most out of his time at Leicester. He grew from being in a relegated Hull team to become one of the finest central defenders in English football. He was one we would have hoped had stayed longer, but the monumental fee Man Utd were willing to pay, never questioned the clubs decision, Seasons: 2017 to 2019, League Games: 64, League Goals: 7, Transfer Fee In: £12million, Transfer Fee Out: £80million, Nation: England, Manager: Craig Shakespeare.
