Winning the play-offs and Charity Shield shouldn't count though!

The play-offs is not a trophy, in effect you finish third.

Let's not count the 3rd division please. I loved that season but... it's the third division. 

The start of our revival though. A one off but part of our great story.

Agreed. The pride was put back into the club but we were righting the wrong of the year before.

It was a very important season as we could've been stuck down there for years. But it's not a trophy.

Reading about the huge clubs we rubbed shoulders with in the early days when we kept winning the second tier title, it just goes to show the number of crossroads moments we've had where we could've established ourselves as a top tier side at the expense of other clubs but didn't...and now we think of Man Utd, Chelsea and Everton being massive clubs with reputation and history and teams like Blackpool and Bury as early achievers but are now, in reality, tiny compared to the clubs that were once their equals.

 

In the grand scheme of things, our sport has been around for a blink of an eye. Eras come and go. But it makes me think, with everything our club has been through and what we've achieved, we're a club with a generally upward trajectory over the course of its history. Why can't we establish ourselves as a real top-flight force?

 

The Chris Suttons of this world will invite us to know our place, but why can't we be ambitious? Is it beyond the realm of possibility that Leicester City, with good ownership, a strong identity and big ambitions, could upset the status quo and regularly challenge for European football and honours at the highest level, maybe at the expense of those 'traditional' giants like Chelsea or Arsenal?

 

How else does a club acquire history other than to make it themselves?

 

These are the best years of our lives as Leicester fans, and there is room to improve yet. F*** the haters and let's see more names added to that list of trophy-winning captains.

Matt Gillies probably should be regarded as our biggest legend 

From what I've read about the club during that period, I've always regarded him as our best manager (until we won the PL). Hard to believe we were so close to a League/FA Cup double. That's in addition to the mentioned title-winning captain season.

Fook me bet some of you lot are a right laugh on a night out. Things that don’t count on FoxesTalk

A league win if we were relegated the year before.

Playoff winning trophies

Charity Shield Trophy and goals

penalty saves if they score the rebound

penalty goals in a season tally...

 

anything else that that doesn’t count?

The premier league trophy shouldn't count because it was a fluke and the players were on drugs, and...and spurs were unlucky.

Plus no other club wanted to win the PL that season and we didn't win the league, Hazard won it for us.

Well it is though isn't it, you win trophy and you're put into a mini tournament which has pretty much the same rules as any cup competition bar no away goals
