Arizona Posted 30 March, 2009 Share Posted 30 March, 2009 What's the best XI we could have put out from players that never scored for us? Obviously you could take your pick from any 'keeper but beyond that it's tricky. Not going to be any legends in this lot. So far I can think of: GK: ... RB: Ostlund CB: F. Hall CB: A. Davies RM: Hammill DM: Safri AM: Gillett Surely there are some better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only here a year and I don't remember him scoring in it. I could be wrong though. And you are thinking of Griffit, not Gillett. Edit: Sorry, just realised you must be thinking of Richard. My bad, changed the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano6 Posted 30 March, 2009 Share Posted 30 March, 2009 Uwe Rosler and Mark Hughes were two that immediately sprang to my mind... Uwe scored in both last 'competitive' match at The Dell, though it was a friendly*, and the first at SMS, a friendly v Lazio (?) where we lost 3-2. I'm not sure he ever scored in a 'proper' competitive match. Hughes scored that 'goal' which didn't count when it rebounded out off the advertising boards at Leeds. I don't remember him ever scoring (he did hit the bar with an overhead kick from outside the area once) and soon got moved to def mid where he got booked every game - tho he may have got one or two I've forgotten about. *As opposed to Dodd's testimonial where Robbie Jackson from Eastenders scored the last goal at the Dell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK the 2nd Posted 31 March, 2009 Share Posted 31 March, 2009 How about Peter Shilton in goal - didn't he score against us? Yes he did! It was a long time ago but I remember it was when he was at Leicester. It was a wet and windy afternoon at the Dell and we lost 5-1 I think. It was a drop kick from his own penalty area that bounced over our keepers head (McClaren or Forsyth - I can't remember) and into the net. Also not sure but I think it might have been their 5th goal and just about capped a miserable day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a drop kick from his own penalty area that bounced over our keepers head (McClaren or Forsyth - I can't remember) and into the net. Also not sure but I think it might have been their 5th goal and just about capped a miserable day. I was 8 and was drenched behind Archers goal with my Dad when Leicester went 3-1 up with 5 to go. As the footy special buses that used to park at the bottom of Northlands Rd had a nasty habit of leaving before the final whistle, we legged it early. As we later got off the bus in Swaythling, we met our neighbour who laughed about a 5-1 stuffing. We had no idea and when he said the goalie had got the last one I kicked my Dad in the leg for making me miss it. Shilts was only 17 and it was one of his first games for Leicester and no-one here had heard of him! I had to wait for Monday's "Day By Day" to see the goal from that ****y little camera they used to stick on the roof of the West Stand. Campbell Forsyth was in goal, having come back fom a year out with a broken leg. We had sold McLaren that summer having earlier signed Eric Martin. I asked Shilts about it when he was here and he was genuinely embarresed about it and said it had caught a freak gust of wind and then skidded over Forsyth. Also remember that whilst he was (IMHO) our greatest ever keeper, he kicked like a girlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
