Cant remember the first match i went to but i do remember being at the Derby 0-4 Leicester match in 1998 so i guess i would have been 9. 

 

Also Remember me and my dad running through the Eagle centre afterwards shouting Leicester haha.

Tuesday 9th April 1996 so I was 12. In the top of the double decker with my mate and his dad we lost 2-1 to West Brom and they both supported West Brom. If I remember correctly Richard Sneakers scored a thunderbolt with about 5 minutes to go.

76 I think aged 10 V Bristol City. Chris Garland played for us and then we sold him to Bristol City,His home club . I used to See Chris walking around Clifton in Bristol quite often. Usually on his way to the Bookies. He sadly then was diagnosed with Parkinson's . Great Player. Great Memories.

I was took to a friendly as a nipper, don't remember that very well but my first game at filbert street was when I was 5! 5-2 against Sunderland! That Collymore hat-trick..

Aged 11 in Aug 1966. Beat West Ham 5-4.  I thought for a long time after that that there were 9 goals in each match. World Cup winners Banks, Moore, Hurst & Peters played.

 

Have to own up that when I was 4 Dad took me to Forest v Blackpool, so I could tell my grandkids I saw Stanley Matthews play.

1995 Prem season already relegated 13 years old vs Norwich sat in the Kop with my dad, didn't miss a home game for four years after that. Leicester are my first love. So many great memories

1957 I think, so I'd have been eight. Arthur Rowley scored with his "wrong" foot.

Walked down to the match with my grand father from his house in Livingstone Street. Had never seen so many people. Residents didn't complain though - but made a few bob charging for bikes to be left in their entries. Don't think theft was ever a worry.

F A Cup 5th round in March 1969, home to Liverpool, aged 9. My Dad got us tickets for the Kop and I then went spare for what seemed like weeks as the game got postponed 6 times. Completely blown away by the crowd, the noise and so much going on around me. City drew 0-0 but won the replay at Anfield TWO days later thanks to an Andy Lochhead header and Shilton saving a Tommy Smith penalty.  Seem to remember seeing the Mercury the following day full of photos of Leicester coaches with smashed windows. On to Wembley we went.

My mum tells me about this. She says she used to earn pocket money to last a month on Sawday Street by looking after the bikes.

I was 5 and it cost my dad £1 to get me in and £2 for himself. We had member cards that looked like the shape of the stadium. 86/87 season I think. Bristol City I think.

I always thought there was a minimum age of 3?

 

Might be right I was told 2 but the guy sat in front of us told me he tried to take his daughter but he wasn't allowed as she was 2 and a half

I used to sell LCFC scratch cards every friday evening after school and got me and my dad two tickets, did this for a few years then we just got season tickets
