5 years ago today

[Mythyaar]

Yes, 5 years!

 

Norwich at home. Off the back of that traumatic defeat at Arsenal. Was this the start of the collapse?

 

Outplayed for large parts of the match by Norwich. Then, when all hope seemed to be lost, Ulloa scrambles one in far post in the last minute.

 

Cue eruption, earthquake and genuine belief returning that we could achieve the impossible!!

[foxfanazer]

Wouldn't say we were outplayed by Norwich, was just a drab match. But then that goal goes in and it felt like the Kop was going to crumble to the ground 

[shailen]

Everyone points to the Man City game and quite rightly but this was just as big imo. The confidence it must have given after the Arsenal last minute defeat must have been immense and we didn't lose again that season.

Mate just before ulloa scored I thought this was when we was going to fade away but it proved a wrong thought

[HighPeakFox]

Vardy with a Bruno Fernandes-esque assist.

Redmond hit the bar with about 10 to go, it was tense.

[Phube]

Unjustly known as the VardyQuake in the media... 

[Fox92]

Norwich did what they did last season; cheated and time wasted all game. That added to the tension.

5 years fook off where has the time gone?

[Hoopla10]

Vardy taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've know for all these years
Leicester City's Foxes Hearts Club Band

That communal explosion of joy brings tears to my eyes. Just as I think it did at the time.

[Corky]

Start of the week where we took control of the title race.

 

Ulloa was a massive back-up in that run-in- the winner in this game, equaliser against West Ham and the performance against Swansea with Vardy out.

[goody2028]

Just watched the highlights again and still don’t know how Jerome missed that header in the first half

[NewquayFox]

Did Maddison play for Norwich that day?

We've missed a player like that since he left.

[Motty]

Swansea was the game i started to believe it could happen. The 4-0 to the one man team chant.

They signed him in the January transfer window (2016) but loaned him back to Cov for the season.

Nope he was at Coventry.

[Jordan]

Also, today is the fifth anniversary of arguably the greatest Leicester City-related photograph ever taken.

 

And of another classic Schlupp moment, when he clumsily hurt Ulloa in the celebration (Ulloa actually smacked Schlupp for it 🤣🤣🤣)

[Danizen]

No way they outplayed us!

 

They hoofed the ball to Schmeichel from kick-off, sat back and tried to shithouse a 0-0. It was such a relief when that went in!

 

Outplayed...

Claude Puel 

[Sampson]

They definitely didn't outplay us. We just struggled to break them down.

 

Incredible moment at the end though. Surely sealed Ulloa as a huge cult hero in the club's history too.

[HybridFox]

This and his penalty against West Ham. Two massive moments and he held his nerve. Legend
