Under the distinctive and long lasting Offilers Ales hoardings this pre-war match finished a one-all draw. This amateur film shot from behind one of the nets unfortunately doesn't capture either of those goals! Derby's was scored by big-shot specialist Jackie Stamps, a Derby legend still revered in the city for scoring two in the club's only Cup Final victory in 1946. He could have made it a hat-trick if his mighty boot hadn't burst the ball making for an easy save.

Derby County finished the 1938-'39 Division One season in sixth position. Leicester City were twenty-second and bottom.

With England's top shot-stopper Peter Shilton at the back and players of the calibre of David Nish (a grammar school boy and a thinker, so he "reads the game well") and Graham Cross, who's played over four hundred games for the Foxes, it's not surprising that in 1971 Leicester City was hoping for promotion back to Division One. Coach Malcolm Musgrove talks Simon Smith through the squad and back at Filbert Street manager Frank O'Farrell looks ahead to the rest of the season.

Under Frank O'Farrell Leicester City won the 1970-'71 Division Two title but left at the end of the season for a more lucrative job at Manchester United.

Admittedly, football pitches of the 1970s were so poor that they were often covered with sand but even so, Jock Wallace's new training programme may have taken things a bit too far. The inspiration to make the Foxes fitter by forcing them to run up mounds of sand may have come from Sidney Lumet's 1965 film 'The Hill', but it's the way in which the noted disciplinarian takes to the role of sergeant major that is most notable.

Under Jock Wallace Leicester City won promotion back to Division One after two seasons in charge. His greatest legacy at Filbert Street was discovering and nurturing Gary Lineker who went on to become one of England's top goal scorers.

By 1907 Sunderland were four-time Football League winners and three-time runners up, so it's no surprise that the team in stripes are seen to dominate their Second Division opposition (later Leicester City) in this FA Cup first round game. The band recreated their half-time music when the film screened two days later - by which time the musician on the right had hopefully cleared his spit valve!

Kenny Burns of Birmingham City with his teammates and the car he received for scoring the sixth goal in a 6-2 win over Leicester City.

Burns would eventually sell the car and give £200 to each of his team mates.

 

Who else was there for this embarrassing game?

 

A very icy pitch, I think we were playing in trainers for the first half if my memory is true.

 

If you fancy watching it .......

 

I was there in the east stand with my dad when you had a shelf for your drinks. It was freezing cold and Steve Whitworth had an absolute nightmare

It's because of the view from the opposite corner.

Does anyone else remember Steve Walsh appearing on 'through the keyhole' in the late 1990s? 

 

Or did I have a fever dream? 

 

Oh how I've looked for this on YouTube but to no avail. The panel (unsurprisingly) failed to guess the homeowner. When Walshy was revealed, there was an awkward applause from panel and audience, all clearly  dumbfounded as they were still none the wiser as to who he was.

nobody knew it would be a "soulless bowl" and despite all the blue tinted specs filbo was a dump, it wasn't as good as nostalgia makes out and we did need to move. If we had stayed then none of the last 20 years happens - would you have preffered this?

 

edit - just to add. i loved filbo as much as the next die hard fan. i remember getting a kid to climb into a bin at HT in the carling stand during a FNF match where Lawrie Dudfield scored a hat trick (i think) and it was one of the most fun nights of my life. for a reserve team game!

the smells at filbo, the sights, the noise it was all fanstatic. but we needed the move.
