Who scored the first LCFC goal of your lifetime?

Recommended Posts

Posted

1973 season, we finished 9th and Man Utd were relegated.

 

I had to wait til the third game after I was born before we scored.  Joe Waters with his one and only goal for us in a 1-1 draw at Newcastle.

 

I can't remember the first goal I ever saw but I remember my first two matches in 1978 as a 5 year old - 0-1 v W.Brom and 0-1 v Brighton.

First game of my life (November 1992) was, um... a 1-0 home defeat by the mighty Bristol Rovers. :dry:

 

A week later though, a David Oldfield double and one from Ian Ormondroyd helped us see off the equally mighty Grimsby Town. :scarf:

oh dear.  was born during the three weeks between a loss v man city in the cup final, and a loss v man utd that saw us relegated to division 2.

 

first goal scored in my lifetime was by allan clarke, in a 2-1 loss away at ipswich.

Some guy by the name of Albert Cheesebrough got citys first in a 2-2 draw away to Sheff weds 06.04.1960.

Apparently he played 186 games for us between 1559 and 1963 scoring 62 goals in the process.  Not a bad return

Thankfully don't have to make up a song for him!

186 games in 404 years.

 A goal every 6 and half years. Not great!

Actually, his name does sound like someone form the 16th Century

Foxestalk records don't show the goal times so I don't know who got the first goal. But I bet if I just post this screenshot, some saddo on here will probably be able to tell me the exact game, score and first scorer ? (obviously I do know the game and the score as that's shown, I just wondered if anyone here could work it out from this teamsheet)

 

EDIT: I just realised that it's entirely possible that the first ever goal scored by a Leicester player in my lifetime could have been a Steve Walsh own goal :rolleyes:

1968

 

Leicester City 2 - Manchester United 1 - Fearn and Nish for us, Law for them......never heard of any of them :thumbup:

Alan Smith apparently in a 2-1 win over Coventry. 

 

By some strange twist of fate, Julian Watts scored the first goal against us in my first ever visit to Filbert Street in a 2-0 reserves defeat to Sheff Weds. In my first first-team game, he scored the opener for us in a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea. Can't imagine Julian Watts scored many goals in his career so the odds on that happening are ridiculous!

,,Going by Wikipedia the first competitive Leicester city goal of my lifetime was by Wayne Clarke in a 1-1 draw with Hull city on August 19th 1989

 

Never heard of him lol

That was my first ever away game.  Wayne Clarke was our new striker bought in the summer I think.  Didn't last too long.

 

Drew 1-1 with Ipswich 1973, Jon Sammels scored for us.  I actually was at school with his son.  Never knew that irrelevant but strangely fascinating fact.

I was born in June so the first league game wasn't until a 2-3 loss at home to Newcastle on Aug 25 1984. Gary Lineker bagged a brace for the City. Chris Waddle scored the winner for the Toon. Also we played in this beaut of a kit:

That was the first game I ever attended live. My dad took me and we stood in the east stand towards the filbert street end. I was standing on the dividing wall and clinging to the fence to get a better view
