In a day and age where players move around from club to club on an all too regular basis Steve Walsh was a
refreshing exception to the rule. He served Leicester City magnificently for fourteen years, becoming a firm favourite
with the Filbert Street faithful in that time. Most of Steve's career was spent at the heart of the City defence but he
also showed himself to be a real handful as a striker, most notably when he grabbed the two goals that took Leicester
into the Premiership with a 2-1 win over Derby County in the 1994 play-off final. With his chances becoming limited
due to the form of Matt Elliott and Gerry Taggart in the City defence, Walsh decided the time had come to bring
down the curtain on his Foxes career and he moved to First Division Norwich City in September 2000.
He is pictured above during the 1-0 defeat against Spurs on 21/3/1999 in the Worthington Cup Final.
