Off topic, but I lived in Berkshire then so trundled along for that game. All I can remember of an awful match was Lenny burning the pitch up in anger at half-time as he waited to get on from the bench. He was like a man tormented, he wanted to be out there so much.

The pic of Frank may well of originally been the away shirt ( we wore white at home) from 1973 but with the white V cut out. i have the white version and I am certain it is the 1973 shirt with the V cut out. Yes this one (74/75/76ish I think) is also iconic. I actually have one of these which is Alan Birchenall's no 10 match worn shirt and it is autographed by the squad of that time. Shilton, Worthington, Weller, Glover, Sammels, etc. I'll see if I can get it out of the attic and post a photo on here.

But you mentioned Lenny Glover. I remember sitting on that stubby little white-washed wall under the floodlights as he glided last with those buttons shining. I could smell the linament, he was that close, and knew at that moment that I was hooked. 45 years later it feels as fresh as as if it had happened yesterday.
Stuntman_Mike Posted 1 June 2020 Posted 1 June 2020 I really like these two from what I've not seen mentioned.
SystonFox Posted 1 June 2020 Posted 1 June 2020 They should release the jade and navy in the retro range.... failing that any idea where it can be bought online? editthere is currently one on eBay for £150

I have these 6 of mine but they are just ideas, would welcome lots of photos of your favourites to choose from. I've got bottom middle too and for me it's the best one. Bloke offered me 200 quid for mine at the athletico away champs league game

Didn't he concede a penalty too?

PhillippaT Posted 1 June 2020 Posted 1 June 2020 I have that Keller one. Got a few raised eyebrows when I wore it to the Emirates! The funny thing is that my Dad deliberately bought a big one for me to grow into at the time, and it's still a bit too big for me, today It's retired now that I've got a Schmeichel one, though...

Ignore the first season we had in it! I still have this shirt. As gold kits go, it's good! I'm being picky but I don't like the badge being central, certainly not when it means the brand logo is squeezed in centrally too.
rico Posted 2 June 2020 Posted 2 June 2020 I also still have this yellow shirt and a couple of pairs of Fox Leisure shorts that i keep in a drawer at home...

I used to have both, the Keller one and the teal and navy. Bit gutted they were lost to time.

Stuntman_Mike Posted 2 June 2020 Posted 2 June 2020 I think we need to bring back more white away shirts

At the time, replica shirts were still in their infancy - in fact I think it was Admiral who more or less started that industry (another example of LCFC being something of a trailblazer). First airing was at Maine Rd where I hadn't really thought through the fact that it identified me as a Leicester fan at a hundred paces. Caught some serions flack, but I've loved this one ever since.
sdb Posted 2 June 2020 Posted 2 June 2020 Anything LG, Joma, Topps Tiles, shiny gold can get in the bin for me. I've actually liked most shirts from the last decade, design wise. Shame the material is such low quality
