Just a bit of fun. Seven questions that start easy and get pretty tough. All the answers have a Leicester connection.

 

 

1) Who's this?

3) And this?

4)  What's going on with these lads at Filbert Street in 2000?

5)  And from about the same time, who's this a tribute to?

6) Nottingham Hospital Radio 1970s. Who is circled?

7)  a) Who is this?  b) Who is he playing for?  c) Why did he shave his beard off the following day?

Have a go and I'll give the answers later (it's bedtime here now).

Number 1 has a touch of the Gunnlaugsson about him. 

 

And number 4 in honour of Matt Elliott after the League Cup win? 

Wasn't it when Beckham had gone for a skinhead and we were playing United quite soon after?

Right here's the answers (set to music):

 

 

1)  He's magic, you know:

2) He's got no hair but we don't care:

3)   Chant about him and Gary Lineker unprintable...

4) ..though it's similar to a famous chant about:

 

becks-2.png

 

(he revealed his new haircut at Filbert Street)

 

5)  What was our Sven chant?

6)  Another unprintable chant:

(for younger readers, that's Barrie Pierpoint, notorious LCFC chief exec 1990s)

 

 

7)  Oh Frankie, Frankie... (opposition fans had a different version):

At Huddersfield he let his beard grow during their FA Cup run then when they lost at Birmingham in the QF it came off.

Here's bearded Frank during that Cup run. He mentions this game in his book, proud that the Sunday People gave him 10/10.  It was at the end of this season that he almost signed for Liverpool before we stepped in:

When young Barrie worked at hospital radio in Nottingham he was 'publicity and promotions manager' and on air he called himself 'Barrie James'! Another attempt to hide his family's connection to to the Pierrepoint family (the UK's most famous exectutioners). 

 

A reminder of the story:
