Leicester could do no worse than winning the FA cup in his honour
c'mon you foxes

A good striker, but not a great one.

Played for England - 8 caps I believe and two goals.....probably God needs another striker to go alongside Peter Lorimer.....

Growing up, he was one of football's great entertainers, alongside folk like Rodney Marsh, Jimmy Johnson and later Glenn Hoddle.

Filbert Street...brings back memories.
As a 14 year old I cycled from Peterborough to Leicester to see Leicester City play the Arsenal side packed with stars.
My man of the match was a little inside forward called Jimmy Hennon.....anyone remember him?

how can anyone forget this:

note that when he gets the ball he's facing the wrong way and the ball does not touch the ground till it's in the net, magnificent.

Agreed. If Kane, Messi or Ronaldo had scored that goal in the current age, people would be going crazy over it.

Canary42

Mozz is right, media frenzy these days at such a goal would be extreme. Surrounded by defenders, his skill in retaining possession then scoring is amazing.
