Leicester drama- the complete list

[Lambert09]

There’s only so much we can look at the table and over think how each game is going to play out. I thought it would be fun to create a thread full of all of the crazy drama that has been Leicester over the years.... and there’s been a lot. 
 

Could be an interesting read for the younger fans.  Try to add the most random ones you can remember that haven’t been mentioned yet. 
 

1) After promotion from league 1, Pearson guided us to the championship playoffs. Built on a solid back line featuring a no nonsense centre half Wayne Brown. In the final week before our game Wayne Brown decides it’s the best time to share that he had voted for BNP with a racially mixed squad.
Subsequently Wayne was dropped from the squad and never returned. 
 

Our club had players missing big games long before Perezgate 

 

Edit- if your statement is based on rumour and isn’t confirmed please disclose!!

Not sure if it counts as drama but does anyone remember Rab Douglas not being able to play because he fell down the stairs

Milan mandaric - trust me I’ll get us out the championship and to be fair he never lied because we did get out the championship unfortunately was to league 1 !!!

 

mahrez going on strike the day we played Everton away on a Monday night. Lost 2-1 in the pouring rain. First game back away at Man City and he got cheered on the pitch by the Man City fans and booed on by the Leicester fans !!!

I believe he's actually a myth, just like Leon Crncic  

[An Away Move]

Dennis Wise punching a team mate's face when he was sleeping and breaking his jaw! Probably the most spiteful 'happening' related to the club?

 

That stoopid dinosaur that went missing!

[Legend_in_blue]

[Vestan Pance]

Watford Playoffs, failed stadia at Beaumont Let's and Bede Island, the signing of Speedie

That Watford Play-Off Semi. Funny how we can look back and laugh now, to the extent that we could even say it was the best thing that could happened to us! How did those who were there in the away end feel at the time?! 

[Spudulike]

Dillusions of grandeur - not sure if that was aimed at players or fans. 

 

Martin don't go! and the Gang of 4.

[Spudulike]

The Maynard thread. Epic.

At that exact moment I felt like giving up on football all together! Being a spot kick away from Wembley to seeing their fans on the pitch in front of me about destroyed me.

 

Took a very long time to get over that, still aint!

Dramatic goals,

 

Chris Wood goal against Burnley. Watching some individuals in the away end slide down the stairs in euphoria. Brilliant!

Vardy v West Brom. In the last minute sticking away a really difficult shot with nothing much riding on it!!! - Perhaps my favourite Leicester moment of all time that.

[SuperMike]

Sousa going on and on about Champions League football  when we were at the bottom of the championship, losing 6 of his 9 games, including 6-1 at rockbottom Portsmouth.

After Pearson, one of FoxesTalk's finest evenings that was. Full of folk absolutely panic stricken refreshing Skybet as his odds kept shortening. Everyone watching a Sacramento Republic press conference live and checking out clips of his indoor football career.
