SouthStandUpperTier Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Our fans getting the pitchforks out for Martin O'Neill after a home defeat to Sheff Utd, then proclaiming him a God after winning promotion just a couple of months later.
Livid Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Coming back from 3-0 down at Wembley only to lose 4-3
dedlock Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 My late father introduced me to the addiction that is LCFC 60 years ago. Thanks Dad it's been a bloody roller coaster since! Only Leicester.
inckley fox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Our greatest managers were Hodge, Orr, Gillies, Bloomfield, O'Neill, Pearson, Ranieri. When you look at what happened to them it's scary. Hodge got ill and died. Bloomfield, Orr, Gillies were forced out (and one of them didn't last much longer). We wanted O'Neill fired after 12 games and he actually had to come out to meet protesting fans. We fired Pearson (twice in six months, after having previously forced him out) and Ranieri (within a year of the title). Even if you extend it to people like Little it's bleak stuff. A fan spat at him when we were 1-1 at half time, on our way to the play-offs and promotion in 1994. He never forgot it and later said it was the moment he decided to leave when he could. We don't go easy on our heroes. On the other hand we loved Martin Allen and Sven.

jayfox26 Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Holloway getting us relegated to league 1 and then getting Blackpool promoted to the premier league haha
FoxesDeb Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 The club putting on sale the tickets for the home leg of the 90's tie with Atletico Madrid while we were all in Madrid watching the away leg, so we came home to find they were sold out. And that bus trip.
whetstonefox Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Our lowest ever league finishing position was 1st! Albeit League 1 We won the first English domestic trophy this century/ millennium!
mikey54 Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Quiz Ball - from the 60s/70s on BBC presented by David Vine - I think we won it one year thanks to Lady Isabel Barnett of all people
murphy Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 My Dad used to tell me (quite often) about the 10-0 win v Portmouth. Chandler had 5 goals and 5 swans flew over Filbert Street. A sixth swan then flew over as he scored his sixth. Something like that.
jayfox26 Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 May have already been mentioned but kermogants pen agaisnt Cardiff in the play offs. We have a thing with penalties and play offs with kermo and knocky.
Ted Maul Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 We really are an absolute f**king basket case of a club, aren't we? Always known it, but this thread puts it into perspective. Wouldn't have it any other way- never dull as a City fan!!
Wymsey Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Thought Mandaric would ruin the club, whether or not Martin Allen stayed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2320113/Mandaric-shows-Allen-the-door-at-Leicester.html
Stadt Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Every club has mental moments but not many clubs go from being completely dysfunctional, almost liquidated then to end up winning the top three divisions in just over a decade. Even objectively we're a pretty volatile club capable of magic or hilariously bad.
urban.spaceman Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Only Leicester City would have to sack one of the best managers they'd ever had because his son and two team mates filmed themselves having an orgy with Thai hookers and using racial slurs when receiving sex acts, while on a goodwill tour of the owner's homeland, and then hire a ridiculed older journeyman to survive an inevitable relegation and accidentally win the Premier League.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Young - Lynex then Young again in goal
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 14 September 2017 Posted 14 September 2017 Spending about £8m on Vardy, Mahrez and Kante. Then spending the best part of £60m on Mendy, Musa and Slimani. Only Leicester.
