Super Stevie Howard.

One of my favourite City players of all time.

 

 

One of my favourite LCFC goals of all time, mainly for what it meant

April 17th 2016 we played a highly entertaining and dramatic 2-2 draw against West Ham. A match full og fight and passion - the opposite of what we witnessed against Newcastle today....

There was a bit more at stake to be fair.

Refuse to believe that was 6 years ago.

One of the worst refereeing performances I have witnessed.

I still call Jon Moss a cvnt to this day. People ask me why I think that, I don't hold back

A couple additions in the summer, but unbelievable to think Pearson took that team to the Championship play offs the following season.

13 years ago today we lifted the League One trophy after the 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe.

 

The two directions the clubs have gone in since are different in the extreme!

I'm being a bit greedy here - three 'On This Day' selections for April 25th:

 

1) In a list of our greatest ever managers, Peter Hodge must be very near the top.

 

On this day in 1925, his Leicester City team beat Bradford City 1-0 to clinch promotion to the top flight.

 

Hodge left for Man City the following year.

 

On the same date, two years later - April 25th 1928, history repeated itself. His Man City team won 1-0 at Leeds to clinch promotion to the top flight. 

 

2) On this day in 1939 Archibald Leitch passed away, with barely a mention in the press. Largely thanks to Simon Inglis, he is now acknowledged as the game's greatest ever ground designer.

 

You'll recognize the somersaulting celebrator in front of the signature Leitch criss-cross balcony design;

 

 

3) On this day in 1964 John White, the legendary 'ghost of White Hart Lane' scored his last ever goal - at Filbert Street.

 

 ‘With everyone else expecting him to pass, he let go a tremendous drive from the edge of the penalty area and it zoomed past Gordon Banks’.

 

Two months later he was dead, aged just 27, struck by lightning while playing golf.

Sounds a bit like Archibald Leach

 

[Super_horns]

Happy anniversary!

 

Not quite the same but we won what is now League One in 1998 on the same day.

I was there too!

[tom27111]

Not a single person has mentioned that a year ago today, we won the FA Cup?

 

I've just commemorated it by watching the documentary on YouTube. 

 

Not gonna lie, I'm in absolute bits and in tears again.

 

I just want to take Luke Thomas home and look after him, he ain't much older than my step-son, brilliant hearing from him.

 

What a day, what memories.

[tom27111]

Too big a file to share on here, but my stepson, being of the age where you film everything, just sent me a video of the final whistle at the Cup final.

 

You can just hear me in the background screaming "REF...REF" Then pure magic as we celebrate and embrace.

 

Laughing, cheering... absolutely incredible.

I remember standing with a few hundred of us on the edge of the pitch while the match was still on going waiting for the final whistle, I’d already started digging up the turf  

[Vacamion]

Awww yeah.

 

I was there.  And when I got back, some nob of a bouncer wouldn’t let me into a pub in Oadby, just because I was a sweaty, drunken dishevelled incoherent rambling mess whose blue face paint had run a lot.
