Best individual memory

[bovril]

I say this every time this kind of thread comes up - Vardy at WBA in the great escape. Those two months are probably the best memory I have of supporting Leicester.

That Bergkamp hat trick

The Seville home game in the Champions League takes some topping and particularly when Albrighton scored. When I looked around at the end about half of the stand was in tears.

Was that the Boxing Day fixture?

No it was the end of January 1981. I did go to the later Boxing Day game. Same result but that one felt more comfortable.

Another early great memory was 2-1 at Man U with a double from Mike Stringfellow April 1966

Buying the Mercury in 1981 and the headline suggesting we were about to buy Cruyff

My most vivid football related memory was my dad taking me to the 1999 league cup final vs. Spurs as an 8 year old. Growing up in the Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire countryside id never been to London or seen best part of 100,000 people in one place. I remember everything about the day… the train to London, loving the packed tube ride which was filled with songs about Heskey, the junk food, the twin towers of old Wembley the fireworks and the whole crowd singing we will rock you before the game. Didn’t care that we lost, was such a great and overwhelming experience as a little kid.

Being in The Stadium of Light until about half an hour after full time singing ‘we’re gonna win the league…’. 
 

Still had no idea we’d actually do it but it was a good afternoon. 
 

Followed by having no idea where I’d parked my car for about 3 hours afterwards.

Mad to think that with what happened the season after I’d agree with this. The atmosphere for the last 10 or so games, the passion from the lads and the sheer relief of survival was unmatched. 
 

Burnley and West Brom away were cracking in that run.

Esteban Cambiasso scoring in his final appearance, against QPR and celebrating with a bow in front of the kop.

 

Knew at that moment he'd be gone the next season and we'd likely struggle.

It's got to be Walsh's winner v Derby in the play off final at Wembley.  First and only time I've ever cried tears of joy at a football game.

[vandamman]

That unforgettable and iconic performance from music royalty, Jamie Afro’s spine tingling rendition of Sex on Fire. 

[ThorpeAstleyFox]

Julian Joachim scoring a great solo goal against Portsmouth in the play-off semi-final at the City Ground (we had to start building work on the Carling Stand so that it would be ready for the following season).

Good shout. Unbelievably satisfying moment; a celebration of the greatest ever escape. I'm getting misty eyed thinking about it.

Semi final away v wimbledon. About 9000 of us there stood along one side of the ground and behind the goal. Proper boisterous atmosphere and great scenes. 

Police walking up and down the sideline most of the second half

They were two very different emotions but the great escape was incredibly cathartic for me. it was really the first time since O'Neill left 15 years earlier that we finished a PL season feeling good about ourselves and it exorcised most of the post-2000 demons for me.

Any time Joachim got the ball, we’ve had some absolute legends and great players, particularly over the last few years, but not even Mahrez or Vardy got me out of my seat the way Joachim did when he got the ball and started running.

That was the start of the great escape 

That goal kick started the whole process off.

I think we were two down at half time? (2-1?) and there was A LOT of Pearson out in our section.

Then Vardy got his wonder goal and the team got new belief.

Amazing goal and an amazing win

Probably the Walsh goal against Arsenal. X 

The 3-3 one? Awesome.

His late one in the cup against them in the early 90's was good too. Think it was Ian Wright Debut for them.

They don't make games like that any more.

 

One of the true classic games in the City's history.
