Peter Shilton and John Hutchinson spoke to the large crowd in the Legends Lounge. During the Then, Now & Forever launch, hosted in the Legends Lounge at King Power Stadium, supporters had the opportunity to hear from Shilton about his own memories of playing at Filbert Street, his incredible England career and his thoughts on modern-day football. Speaking to Hutchinson, Leicester City’s dedicated Club Historian, Shilton also discussed a range of memorabilia on display before meeting and greeting everyone in attendance. “This sort of event is exactly what we had in mind when we started the Sporting Memories project a little over a year ago,” Hutchinson said after a fascinating day on Filbert Way. It’s been wonderful to see the responses of the people in attendance today and they really do seem to enjoy the relaxed and informative atmosphere which we can provide here. John HutchinsonClub Historian “In the past, we’ve run events with two great players in Richie Norman and Howard Riley telling stories of their times at the Club during the 1960s. “Other ones included Alan ‘The Birch’ Birchenall and Nev Foulger, who was the voice of BBC Radio Leicester in the 1990s and that was another fantastic chance to relive a fine time in our history. “It’s been wonderful to see the responses of the people in attendance today and they really do seem to enjoy the relaxed and informative atmosphere which we can provide here.”

But what does it say about my brain or my life that my first thought, on hearing about "Then, Now & Forever", was for Demis Roussos? I should probably book in myself....
