Didn’t we use Republika, Ready to go in the 90s?

No, was played during the build up along with Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You.

 

Always ran out to recorded PHG.

Didn't they go for "Jump Around" for the first game at the new ground, prompting uproar from everyone?

Jump Around.... but please don't "jump around" as the stands aren't built to take it

The build up was always the best bit, i remember Republica being played, and for a season or 2 was Bon Jovi - Keep the Faith

 

My favourite was when we had 'O Fortuna' right before being interupted by the  PHG, used to get the hairs on your neck standing up

Used to be Shep who walked to the centre spot to play the PHG wasn’t it? Always made me laugh because he used to run out of steam about half way through bless him  I like having somebody play it live from the centre circle it’s unique.

 

 

 

Shep the dog ?

Used to play Sleepy Jean for start of the second half in the 90's if I remember rightly under O'Neil. 

 

Remeber the Kop always singing **** off Mark Mcghee, oh what can it mean, to a Leicester supporter and we're, in the Premier League. 

 

Great times.

In my head, I swear that during the Pleat era we ran out to the theme tune from the Benny Hill show.

Cannot believe that grotesque version of PHG is still in use. That should've lasted about 2 games and it's gone on for about 15 years

That's a good shout. I liked this also. Reminds me of the very early days of going LCFC.
