List of Leicester City F.C. players

This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Leicester City, although it includes players who were with the club when it was called Leicester Fosse (foundation in 1884 to 1919). The aim is for this list to include all players that have played 100 or more senior matches and/or scored 50 or more senior goals for the club. Other players who have played an important role for the club can also be included, but the reason for their notability should be included in the 'Notes' column. For a list of all Leicester City players, major or minor, with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Leicester City F.C. players, and for the current squad see the main Leicester City F.C. article.

## Explanation of list

[edit]

Players should be listed in chronological order according to the year in which they first played for the club, and then by alphabetical order of their surname. Appearances and goals should include substitute appearances, but exclude wartime matches and games played in the Texaco Cup, Anglo-Scottish Cup, Anglo-Italian Cup, and FA Cup third place play-off. Further information on competitions/seasons which are regarded as eligible for appearance stats are provided below (dependent on the years at which the player was at the club), and if any data is not available for any of these competitions an appropriate note should be added to the table.
