Your most memorable moment of 2017 following LCFC

[rn9013]

As 2017 comes to an end, what is your most memorable moment of the year following the foxes?

 

For me there is no competition. That night against Sevilla will live with me for the rest of my life. I always thought the 5-3 win against Man United would be my best game in terms of atmosphere, but boy was I wrong!

 

I will never forget that night in March, looking around me at the full time whistle and seeing the expression on people's faces as we all realised we'd witnessed our club progress to the QF's of the Champions League. Even thinking about it now I still can't quite believe it happened! I remember watching CL games on TV as a kid, 'knowing' it was a level of the game above my club, something I would never see live without a football holiday in Barcelona etc. Incredible. 

 

Happy new year folks, all the best for 2018!

When this went in:

Undoubtedly Sevilla at home and I don’t think I will ever live to see it get topped.

 

Obviously the trips to Sevilla and Madrid were sensational as well. Special mention to nearly braking my Ankle for Vardys goal in Sevilla and the Ben Marshall chants when we got locked in.

Nothing comes close to Seville at home. The atmosphere when Kasper saved the penalty at the end.

Looks like Sevilla is the same for everyone  

 

Out of interest, does anyone know if the BBC Radio Leicester commentary (particularly the last 10 mins and the initial reaction) is available anywhere? I remember downloading the podcast the week after the match and it was very special listening to those final few minutes and the initial reaction after the final whistle.

Sevilla at home. Anyone who says anything else is lying.

I know there were a few more but you were the two names I can remember......a highlight of the year for all the wrong reasons has to be the day in July we spent together on here awaiting the results of the season ticket ballot....turns out none of us ended up with one from what I remember. 

 

Still gutted.

Haha yes this was a lowlight for me too, I fully expect to see both of you again next year for the same reason! The best thing about it though is that we were all in it together, and I would genuinely have been happy for both of you had you secured a season ticket ?

[Sampson]

Albrighton's goal and Schmeichel's penalty save against Sevilla. Don't think I've celebrated a goal or a save s much in my life.

One of the greatest games ever.

I second that....once I had my rejection email, my first reaction was...'oh well I hope the others got one'. 

 

This time next year.....  

[CollinsLCFC]

I would do anything to relive Sevilla at home. What a night. 

[Fox42]

Just gonna leave this here...

 

DU DU DU-DU-DU DU! DU-DU-DU DU DU!

 

[Sir Shep]

Sevilla at home, not just 2017 but my most ever best memory and experience following the city. 

[CosbehFox]

The Thursday night after the Atleti first leg; sat in a tapas bar in Madrid with loads of mates, just chatting. Everyone jolly without being a state. The locals finally warming to us. That’s what football can do. You won’t take those memories away from me ever. 

 

The two knockout CL ties were amazing.

I'd like to retract my earlier statement as I somehow forgot about this one.

[HybridFox]

Champions League 2nd leg vs Sevilla at home. Will take some doing to top the atmosphere and drama of that match

[dynamark]

Very good to see Shaky enjoying the occasion with his men .you can see loyalty  emotion and feeling in his reaction.

 

[UPinCarolina]

From my perspective across the pond - both the recent Man United draw and the CL Sevilla win were matches I watched with my siblings and both were days that were memorable or special for other reasons as well. I’ll always associate those days with good times and better people. 

 

 

[Fox92]

Being behind the goal at Bramall Lane when Musa scored to top of such a superb performance.

[Corky]

Sevilla. Unbelievable night. The Liverpool game in February was good but nothing can beat a comeback win in the Champions League.

[steveherbe]

Hate to be boring, but Sevilla was one of the greatest nights supporting City in my 60+ years. The dogs of war tifo, dragging the surfers up the stand, Albrightons goal, Kaspers save, and one of the best atmospheres since the 60's. I want more!

[Illusion35]

Sevilla at home was absolutely amazing as all have said. Atmosphere was just out of this world. 

 

Also absolutely loved my trip to Atletico, everything about it, the weather in Madrid, the friendliness of the local fans, the leicester fans singing on the plane, the late night tapas in our hotel with Peter Schmichael agreeing to a photo with my star struck 14 year old son, the tour of the stadium we did the day after the game...just the best memories ever. Still paying off my credit card mind you lol!
