i really think we should revert to the more attacking 1-3-6 formation, ironic how by megson it had completely reversed.

anyone else notice that we had the baggies up front :giggle:

Happy birthday LCFC!

What a birthday present our current form has been as well. Amazing to think we were playing in almost the same colours in the game closest to the anniversary too.

Reading my copy of Fossil and Foxes I think my house was built somewhere near or around where that game was played.

How far away would that have been from Livingstone Road, right next to Fosse Road, where my grandparents lived for many years and to the Shaftesbury Road junior school (which fronted Fosse Road) which their offspring attended? The school was founded in 1886 and would have been in the process of being built at the time of that first game.

In fact the whole area must have been a massive building site around that time because I feel sure the Livingstone Road houses bear a date-stone for 1886.
