Hatred for Leon Knight - please explain

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

I know the little one left a few years back but can someone please explain why everyone on NSC dislikes him so much

This is not a wind up thread, just puzzled as to why he has become such a hate figure.....because on the pitch he was a good striker for us

Thanks in advance

He was a Lazy striker for us who thought somehow he was alot better than he really was. Really struggled in the Championship

 

[Frutos]

Also after he left us, he said that he was glad to see us get relegated.

i for one don't hate him, think he is a good player basically his goals got us to Cardiff and he scored the winner once we got there. Lost his way a bit but the manager at the time hardly helped things. Think we missed him a lot until Forster came along

I think we need to be clear about the views posted by the few who make 1000's of posts and the majority. In the main I think NSC members appear to be fairly objective and rational, but sometimes it's easy to come away from this board thinking most are pubescent right wingers or aging miseries. So apart from comments about Leons ego and tantrums, I suspect most would agree we loved the flip side which was his confident penalty in the Millenium Stadium and tireless runs without the kind of service a midget needs. Personally I think if a player makes a piece of history for your club, which he did, he goes down in the books as doing so.

Ah, I was unaware of that one....

Was that when he went to Swansea?

I don't hate him. I think hating anyone you don't know personally is a bit strange. I don't think I'd share a beer with him though.

yes then he tired out his welcome there.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The sad thing is he has/had the ability to be a striker comfortable in the middle ranks of the Championship at least. His attitude stinks and because of this he has never been able to realise his ability.

Please dont take this as me feeling sorry for him I dont. I just get frustrated when people who have some talent blow it by being a twat.

He has fallen out of favour with every club he has been at. Moron.

Yeah, not long before they kicked him out as well.

I thought at the time when i typed 'everyone on NSC' I should have changed it to some/most!

I never had a problem with the player, like you I just remember all the good he did for the club (ie the goals) and the penalty at Cardiff

Disrupted the squad, reportedly tried to seperate the coloured players into a seperate clique.

Who was there at the time? Kuipers, CKR and winger who went to Watford??

Is that 'true' or just a NSC rumour........

Tireless runs?? are you having a laugh

Which indirectly made CKR's relationship with McGhee untenable which lead to CKR leaving and us losing the two most naturally gifted strikers we've had for many years. It could have been so good if his attitude was better and he and CKR had forged the kind of partnership they were capable of. That's the really sad thing for me.

would say that happens at a lot of clubs due the likes and dislikes (Music/Night out etc) of different groups of people.
