I was there, first Home Match after the '66 World Cup the WHU team include Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, and with Gordan Banks paraded the World Cup before KO.

 

 

Have you got an 'I Was There' LCFC event that was particularly memorable?

My old boy enjoys that memory too. 

 

Mine was the Steve Walsh vs Derby. Never ever tire of watching that game.

Everton at home, Sevilla at home. Say no more.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Palace in the playoff final and the fan created earthquake. Two personal highlights. 

[Wolfox]

Watched Zelko run onto the pitch and completely missed the Claridge shinner - doubt I’m on my own there

 

Ended up two rows back hugging a lady in a yellow coat!

And me , the game that tied me to this great club, so proud

[The whole world smiles]

The "don't go Martin" night v spurs.

 

The "were gonna win the league" awayday v Palace. 

 

"ngolo kantes debut" v Bury away.

My two fav ‘I was there’ moments are the play off final v Derby and the Seville game in the ECL. Sadly missed many key games as I’m not a STH. But what a club 💙

[foxfanazer]

United 5-3 will live long in my memory. I had the hangover from hell and was fully expecting us to be comfortably rolled over by the likes of Rooney, Di Maria, RVP etc. At 3-1 down it looked like that was going to be the case but what came after was truly remarkable.

When Cambiasso made it 3-3 I almost threw up! 

 

Vardy completely terrorised their defenders that day. Brilliant memories! 

[Paninistickers]

Swindon away, 0-0. Brian Little's first game. Directly jumpstarted an upward trajectory after years of downward spiral. 

 

Charlton away, 0-1. The start of the aggressive, siege mentality of O'Neill

[Guest Markyblue]

Harlow away and everton when we got the premier  league trophy two sides of the football coin.😁

[Izzy]

Tony James v Oxford. My one and only time on the hallowed turf.

[Spudulike]

I was at all of the Wembley Play-offs and League Cup finals but if there was one moment then it would have to be Vardy's 11 in 11 against ManU. I was in some sort of weird trance for 5 minutes after that knowing that I'd just witnessed history being made. 

[goody2028]

All the obvious ones but a main one that sticks out is Burnley away great escape. Absolute  shithouse 0-1 after penalty miss, turning point game for the club that.

My first game, that.

[onekeithweller]

My first "I was there" game. Great memories of the whole day. Joyous pitch invasion. More akin to a home game than an away. Champions!!! 

[gw_leics772]

Blackpool away with the dodgy temporary stand. 

 

Pa announcer asking to stop bouncing. Leicester fans singing "we'll bounce where want, we'll bounce where we waaaa-aaaaannnttt, we're Leicester city, we'll bounce where we want."

 

Pretty sure a hole opened up in the floor not long after. 

[gw_leics772]

Farted on the terraces at Gillingham away. A real beefy eggo, and the leicester fans started chanting at me. 

Such a proud moment.

My first season but as so many were around for the game, I'd like to go a step further and say I nearly got hit by Ali mauchlens boot as he threw it into the crowd and then witnessed a proper "Pile on" of fully grown adults before somebody came out victorious. 

[gw_leics772]

When my mate shouted abuse at villa fans out of the window of the toilets in the ground, when we won, and someone slammed the window shut on his head. 😂😂😂😂😂

Oh the memories

[gw_leics772]

Grimsby away, muzzy izzet overhead kick goal. And my mate was pissed out of his head fast asleep on his seat next to me. 

Now described as the best goal in the history of the world ever 😂 (ps. Same mate)

I saw us concede to not one but two keepers in the space of a couple of seasons, at Forest away and then Preston at home (over Pressman's head). Good times!
