How young were you for your first Leicester match?

Apparently went to a few when I was 4. The first game I remember clearly was the 1-0 win over Oxford to stay up when I was nearly 6 in 1991. Now been taking my own son since he was 3.

Took my son to his first ever match on Saturday against Stoke, he is 2 years and 1 month old and he loved it. I was thinking there couldn't have been many more who have gone who are younger than that anyone know of anyone younger who has been before?

I went when I was 8/9 for the first time

I took my eldest daughter when she was 1 to her first game

I took my eldest son when he was 9 months old to his first game

I took my second son when he was 1 to his first game

Haven't managed to take my third son yet

Haven't managed to take my second daughter yet either

Aged 7. Feb 81. It'll be 35 years in a couple of weeks. Took me a few years to realise I preferred Leicester to Liverpool, who I attached myself to first, unfortunately. No parental direction you see. Fell in love with LCFC organically.

During the 1987-88 season and I was 9. Sadly can't remember the exact match but we lost! £3.50 in the family standing at Filbert Street.

6 Foxes v Chelsea second leg old league cup 1963.... Crap match, can remember running the length of the old main stand as the game was rather boring......we lost 3-2 on aggregate, match finished 0-0

No idea how old I was and I don't remember it, but my first game was against some random european team in a friendly and I spent the whole time running up and down the rows, climbing the seats and doing pretty much anything but watching the game. Not too disimilar to 04-08 though, the only difference was, I was trying to actively avoid watching those games.

First match age 9 in 1982 home to Newcastle. Main stand, block J. 2-2, Lineker with both of ours and Keegan with both of theirs. What a debut game that was.

I was 7, 1968 v Stoke.

I sat on the wall at the front and when the final whistle went I ran on the pitch with the other kids sitting on the wall (it was allowed in those days).

I then panicked as I didn't know where my brother (who was 11 and in charge of me) was. Luckily he kept an eye on me and wandered over to me as I turned back to the stand to look for him.

0 - 0. I don't remember much of the game, I was just mesmerised by the whole occasion.

That's it, I was hooked.

Since then I've taken all 5 of my children down at a variety of ages, the youngest was 9 months. The Mrs was away and I didn't want to miss the game. I sat down with him on my knee the whole game. Ipswich, it was 21 years ago.

My other kids? 2, 7, 8 and 8 for their first games. All have grown up to be City fans, 4 of them avid fans, one of my daughters a bit of a part time supporter.

True to say though LCFC is a massive part of our lives.

9 or just turned 10, West Brom Away. Drew 1-1 hooked from that moment.

 

Took my daughter at 4 and my son had just turned 4 as well, they aren't really into it as I was, gonna let them pick and choose when they want to go so not to ruin it for them, by forcing them,

 

They didn't seem as taken in by the game or the crowd, atmosphere, etc like I did, then I guess a terrace at the Hawthorns in the late 80's and a toilet block with no roof and a police helicopter flying over head was a much more eye opening introduction to the game lol

Age 13, March/April 1987 vs Man City.  Won 4-0.  Simon Morgan scored, that's all I can remember.  Pen 4,   We beat QPR next game 4-1, but still got relegated at the end of the season on 42 points :-(

 

Took my lad to his first game this season vs West Ham.  He was 4 & a bit bored tbh.
