urban fox Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Not a cryptic means to get people to give their age away just a trip down memory lane. Can you remember your first city game and how you came to be there? As a youngster I was like most of my school mates, football and in particular LCFC mad. My grandparents had bought me an autograph book (remember those?) for my birthday and got their next door neighbour, a promising young reserve team player just on the verge of breaking through into the first team by the name of Bobby Mackay, to take in and get a few of the players to sign it for me. (they lived in a council house on Coleman road - how times have changed!!). From that moment on I pestered by poor old dad something chronic to take me to a game to see those name in my book in the flesh. Eventually, just before Christmas 1968 he relented and we were ensconced in the east stand to watch city beat Man utd (Charlton, Best, Law, stiles et al) 2-1. As I recall it Rodney "Marty Feldman on the wing" Fern and Nish from the penalty spot got our goals that day I think Law got theirs. That day will always be etched in my mind and I have followed the foxes ever since. And yes I do still have that autograph book somewhere and later on added the likes of Weller, Farrington et al to those first few pages with Shilton, Nish Lockhead Fern Glover and all the others alongside Bobby Mackay.
bovril Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester 1-1 Port Vale in '96. Taylor scored for Leicester and McCarthy for Vale. Vale had a pretty good team back then with Guppy on the left. What I remember is the p.a. guy telling fans to keep their ticket stubs to help them get tickets for a potential playoff final in May, which everyone laughed to at the time.
urban.spaceman Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Liverpool, Boxing Day 1994. We lost. I was hooked.
Wymsey Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 0-5 Bolton, Filbert Street.. Funny how times have changed.
SpacedX Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 1977 - vs Bristol City. Underwhelming encounter were it not for the fact that Larry May made his debut.

Aus Fox Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 1990 first game of the season, a fresh faced youngster inspired by the joy of Italia 90 that summer. Bristol Rovers were the visitors to Filbert Street that day. My old man took me into the Kop and the noise was unreal, we won 3-2 that day and ive been hooked ever since.
The Doctor Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester 2-1 Reading in August 2002. Remember us going 2-0 up in something like 5 minutes. If only every game since started that well.
weller54 Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Spuds 0 Foxes 1 December 1967 I think. Alan Tewley the scorer. A teenage Peter Shilton was unbeatable that day.
Izzy Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Remember it well. Block J Main stand at Filbo with my Dad. November 1982 v Newcastle. A 2-2 draw, Keegan scored both of there's and Lineker with one of ours.
Ric Flair Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester 2-2 Swindon 1990/91 Mark North equaliser in injury time. Think an on loan Mike Hooper was in goal for us. I was sat on the first row of the upper tier of the double decker and I probably boo'd them.

Great story and i was born on 7/12/68 that afternoon......obviously my old man missed me coming into the world!
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 April 1980. Beat Birmingham City 2-1 at home. Alan Young scored one of them.
Lesterlad Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester v Everton 4th May 1966. Peter Shiltons debut

Guest MattP Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester 0-0 Wolves 1989. Upper tier of the old members stand. Still remember us hitting the side netting and thinking we had scored.
HighPeakFox Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 I have a faulty memory, because I thought it was a 1-1 draw with Millwall in 1978, and a quick check tells me that result doesn't exist!
DerbyshireFox Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday Boxing Day 1997 I think it was. Can’t remember who scored for us, but I remember Dejan Stefanovic equalising for them in the 87th minute. Top tier of the double decker at Filbert Street, though I used to like the east stand/cow shed over the years when I got taken once in a blue moon
dayday Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Leicester v Luton 1979, lost 3-1, Larry May scored

I know you will remember this one. cant remember my first home,but my first away was at Peterborough 1992? cant remember much about the match apart from losing,but it was chaos. Those streakers will stick in my mind forever,I was at the walled side and we had 8k there.

I was at that match too with 3 friends.. Thick, muddy pitch and drizzly, murky day.. 2-1.. I thought Best scored but I maybe wrong. Wonderful memories.
Gazza M Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 1991 v Bristol City. 2-1 win if I remember correctly.
Phube Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Nov 1995, Bolton Wanderes in the League Cup 2-3. The ‘Kalac’ game...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 1979-80 season Notts County away 1-0 win for Leicester my uncles on my mums side of family took me as were obvs City fans
blaaklint Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 2010 2-1 home loss to Reading. We were drawing 1-1 due to a Lloyd Dyer goal for us and a Gylfi Sigurdsson goal for them, until Matt Mills scored in the last five minutes.
