Wow thanks!  I'd never seen that!  Brings back memories.  So glad you posted that.

Paul Kitson.

He scored in the first game I went to, in which we beat Blackburn 3-0 in 1991.

Got sold to Derby at the end of that season, and we got Ian Ormondroyd and Phil Gee in part exchange.

Tommy Wright Wright Wright.

 

I have drank too much in life to remember memories anymore. He scored a goal and Rooster Russell’s head reflected the flood lights. Brian Little was so happy he then went on a spree of buying bald footballers.

First memorable game: 2-2 wolves - Roberts debut, he scored two. I went to games before this but this is the one that made me think we had the best centre forward in the world and it was only a matter of time before we won the premier league. I was right, it only took another 22 years. 
 

First favourite player: a split between two. Joachim and Roberts. However, Walshie took over after the play off win.

 

 

 

Wasn’t that the game where Roberts also managed to put it over the bar from on the goal line? Quite a remarkable feat. I would have thought that would have made you have doubts about him being the best in the world. Haha

my first footballing hero was David Nish. there have been some great LB's such as Pierce, Cole, Sammels over the years but Nishy was a great player. When i was still playing vets i always insisted on the N0.3 shirt.

My first memory was the chant "We got Marty, Marty Feldman, Marty Feldman on the wing" when Rod Fern scored at my first match Vs Man Utd in 1968 (we won 2-1). We had Shilton, Nish, Cross,Glover.  They had Charlton, Best Law. Two great sides.

Worst Memory: lots but despite the relegation's, the one that sticks out and still hurts is losing the 1969 FA cup Final.

Colin Gibson still works for the club, met him about a year ago.

I genuinely didn’t know that, any idea in what capacity?

Yeah he works in hospitality as one of the hosts, met him in the bar there about a year. Literally nobody else in the room knew who he was and I figured out he played in my first game which was pretty cool.

Ah I see, he was a good player. I don’t think it quite worked for him under Little looking back now. Whitlow took his place, he was too much of a baller for our style of play then.

Great hair too.

Gibson scored a couple of scorchers at the beginning of the 91/92 season...

 

From about 6.15

 

 

[Tuna]

First memory was losing 7-1 at Newcastle in 1993.

 

First favourite player would have been Julian Joachim.

Was he not wearing his puma kings?

Andy Peake, based on watching THAT goal at my first ever match!

Would you say your love of football, ermmm, peaked at that point?

[SON OF A FOX]

First Favourite player's Alan Young Jim Melrose Andy Peake Mark Wallington but at a push I would say Melrose.

First Game 28/11/1981 Leicester 4-1 Cambridge United (Melrose/Lynex/Lineker (2)) I'm sure Lynex scored in the very first minute (possibly a penalty) I thought it would always be that easy!!! First memory was when we did the double over Liverpool the season before and became the first team to win at Anfield in 30 odd games.

[LCFCSOULBOY]

The great Steve Whitworth. Remember him bombing down the right wing in 1974 at Filbert Street and for England at Wembley

FFP- Alan Young 

 

First memory beating Norwich in the Fa cup

 

First game lost 3-1 to Luton 1979-80 season 

That was my first home game just after I passed my driving test. I was able to do the 240 mile trip albiet in a rusting Triumph Toledo.

[Sydney_Blue]

FFP - Paul Ramsey - saw him around the town so he then became real!

 

Got a memory like a sieve for specifics but I have fond memories of away at Luton (late 80s) and Bristol City (earliy 90s). Nice and old school.

IIRC they were unbeaten in 86 home games before we beat them that day.

Ah, well here is the secret. I didn’t see any of the goals nor any of our attempts. Any time we got near the goal, I ended up watching the backs of the those in front of me. I was sat in the old double decker of course!

Started watching Leicester in 1994, but I didn't really get into it enough to know about the players until a few years later, when we just happened to have a Turkish wizard in midfield. 

 

Even after everything that's happened to our little club over the last few years, Muzzy Izzet is still my all time favourite Leicester City player

[Webbo]

On this day 1997, not my first memory by a long way but one of my favourites.

As happy as I've ever been at a football match.

[oxford blue]

My favourite player would probably be Shilton (helped by the fact he is from Leicester), but Weller and Glover would come close- and in a few years I think there will be many going for Vardy.

 

Certainly not my first memory, but Claridge's injury time goal against Palace in 1996 must be my favourite. Enjoy again...
