Dean Windass in goal if I remember correctly. Vaguely remember Oldham having the delightful Lee Hughes playing in that game too. What an awful human. 

You're right mate, it was. Windass had a hell of a frame so took up most of the goal. He did have a really good game though if I recall correctly.

Barnsley away, week before Christmas, roughly 1986, 3-0 down at HT. It was freezing and it snowed, standing up with no roof.

Reading this thread makes me realise how much we owe to this man...

 

[Walshy5]

Being devasted that we missed out on Nicky Maynard.

[Heathrow fox]

From 83 to 91 we never got

higher than 9th in any league table In fact it was one long relegation battle.I had gone through the school system,lost my virginity and done 2 years on a building site before I witnessed a Leicester side in the promotion places.

[HybridFox]

Martyn Waghorn was considered a Premier League calibre player

[rn9013]

Put it this way...throughout my school years I was the only one in the playground pretending to be Elvis Hammond et al. 

 

We really were s**t for a sustained period up until a few years ago. We have so much to thank our owners for.

Playing Rotherham at home around Christmas 2004, Rotherham had about 6 points all season going into the game and were relegated by a country mile that season.

Guess what?

 

Leicester 0 Rotherham 1.

The first game I was ever taken to.

[shailen]

That 04 - 09 period was an absolute nightmare.  I remember going mad at a Barry hayles scrappy goal vs Palace in the last minute in what I think was the season we got relegated to league one. 

[Nickfosse]

Watching us 1 0 down to Fulham under Taylor the year we were relegated. Got an attacking throw in during time added on in the first half. Nobody could even be bothered to get a jog on to take it and when we eventually got it in play an eternity later the ref blew for half time to a chorus of boos.

I remember all my school team being devastated when Michael Trotter didn’t turn up to our presentation evening 

 

He's a manager at Royal Mail now.

 

Which makes him Nick Platnauer's boss. 

 

 

Also, where was I when we were crap? In the kop, singing, "oooh aaaah Plat-o-naaaaaah!" to the tune of the, "oooooh aaaaah Can-tonaaaa" chant.

 

I like to think we were doing it ironically, but possibly not.

On holiday in Gran Canaria, saying to another City fan, much to my sons embarrassment, “Who needs Cantona, we’ve got Ormandroid!”

Watching Premier League Wigan coming in to poach David Connolly off us.

Haha yes! Was speaking to my boss about that the other day. He'd just scored a 2 or 3 in the previous match. Got good money though I seem to remember

[foxfanazer]

I was looking through some of the old transfer wishlist on here from years ago /13/14 season I think trying to find a comment I'd posted. Some of the suggestions were amazing when you consider where we are now

 

Honourable mentions go to Adam Johnson , Jack Rodwell and Ebanks-Blake

[Wymsey]

When Hossein Kaebi signed and some thought the club had a hidden gem in him.

That was the era I started watching us regularly home and away. It was bloody hard work looking back and we were rarely served up good performances. At times it seemed like months on end without an away win and they were rare as hens teeth.

 

The 04-09 shit period I was mostly in hospital and high on morphine so don’t remember a fat lot about it thankfully

Thanks for that by the way

I know there were more harrowing times but the Craig Levein era has to be one of the most forgettable periods of any club in history

Oh man, I was reading this thread for the first time while you were posting quarter of an hour ago, and one of the first names which came to mind, and which I was going to post, was Hossein Kaebi. 

 

Ditto "Casino" Jimmy Nielsson.

He was in charge for 15 months and won more FA Cup away games than league away games.

When we were utterly, lamentably shit under Fank McLintock in 1977, I was. for the most part. in the double decker with my Dad. 

 

Under Pleat, I was probably on a rugby field, avoiding the trouble at games. 

 

When we avoided relegation to the 3rd tier at Oxford away (Tony James and all that), I was in Eastern Germany, listening to a crackly "Sports Report" on the BBC World Service.

 

When we lost away at Stoke in 2008, I was at a family gathering in Norfolk, with my by then terminally ill Dad, and then after we had been relegated he said "Well, that's that, then.. " and he looked at me with a weird expression and we both knew, and with a nod and an acknowledgement, that he'd never see another City game. 

 

Since then, we've been mostly brilliant, which is nice.

Yes an away win was worth 10 home wins which is saying something because a home win could be rare ? The 04 05 06 period has been totally blocked from my memory.I can barely remember it myself.At least when Milan came in things started moving,even if it was in the wrong direction to begin with.We have been lucky in a way decent clubs like Ipswich and Charlton have had what seems like decades of turgid shite with no end in sight.
