Colin Appleton lifts the League Cup in 1964. After beating Aldershot, Tranmere Rovers, Gillingham and Norwich City. Leicester beat West Ham 4-3 at Filbert Street and 2-0 at Upton Park in the semi finals, Leicester then faced Stoke in a two legged final. A 1-1 draw at the Victoria Ground and then a 3-2 win at Filbert Street with goals from Mike Stringfellow, Davie Gibson and Howard Riley saw Leicester lift the Cup for the first time 💙🦊

An FA Cup replay between Leicester City and Brentford at Villa Park in February 1947 🦊

 

 

That Brentford right back is Bill Gorman, who went completely bald when he was only 19. His nickname was 'old naked brains' apparently. There was a great cartoon in the Birmingham paper that day about him, with the players clearing the snow from the Villa Park pitch:

Keith Weller, born on June 11, 1946, was an English footballer renowned for his versatility, playing both as a midfielder and a striker. Weller's career spanned several clubs, but he is best remembered for his time at Leicester City, where he became a club legend. Joining Leicester in 1973 from Chelsea, Weller quickly established himself as one of the finest players in the club's history. His exceptional dribbling skills, creativity, and ability to score goals made him a key figure in Leicester's midfield. Weller played an instrumental role in helping the club secure promotion to the First Division and contributed to their success during the 1970s.
Weller's influence at Leicester City extended beyond just his playing ability; he was a fan favorite and became synonymous with the club's identity during his tenure. Known for his flair and technical prowess, Weller's most memorable moments included scoring stunning goals, including his famous solo effort against Stoke City in 1975, which is still regarded as one of the club's greatest goals. Despite playing in an era of talented English footballers, Weller's contribution to Leicester City remains unparalleled, and he is widely regarded as one of the club's greatest-ever players. Tragically, Weller passed away on November 13, 2004, but his legacy at Leicester City endures, and he is fondly remembered as one of the true greats in the club's history.

Great photo, I’ve never seen it before.

It looks like the match verses Argentina in which Wortho also played and scored.

 

Yep - definitely the Argentina game. That's Enrique Wolff in the background:

Weller's 4th cap - he wouldn't win any more.

 

Shilton's 20th cap - he'd win 105 more.

Should've won more caps considering England won this game 2-0 and he had scored the winner vs Northern Ireland not long before.

 

Unfortunately Don Revie replaced Joe Mercer as manager and put Weller on the scrapheap.

Unusual angle. Taken from the top of a floodlight, presumably. Funny how the cooling tower and the gas holder look the same size from there.
