Who scored the first LCFC goal of your lifetime?

[bovril]

Steve Lynex vs Everton. 

[Kopic]

Bobby Davison v Watford in a 3-0 win.

[Nalis]

Some guy called Gary, he's a football presenter now.

[murphy]

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.

Nicky cross against Leeds 

First goal I saw us score live was mark robins against West brom

[HighPeakFox]

A David Nish penalty in a 2-2 draw at Blackburn on the day I was born. 

[PhillippaT]

Ian Wilson vs Birmingham 12 April 1980, apparently.

[OntarioFox]

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

 

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

Is this thread an inadvertent way of finding out how old we all are?

[WilmslowFox]

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.

[LC/FC]

Wiki says Notts County 5-2.

Mcdonald, Lineker hattrick and Peake. 

[urban fox]

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!

He played for us for 404 years? 

 

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

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Dennis Wise in a 1-4 home defeat to Liverpool October 2001 

[TiffToff88]

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

1968

 

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

[syston_fox]

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!

Robert Davison, the only scorer in a 2-1 loss to Bristol city.

Never heard of him

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
