Mum's family from Sileby and Quorn. But have never lived in Leicestershire and have the wrong accent which aroused some suspicion in 2016.

Hopefully you've now got a tattoo of some mildly obscure almost cult hero type player (Ian Marshall?) on your arse cheeks to allay any suspicision, should it arise in future.

I took to carrying round a 1996 ticket from a Port Vale game as some kind of proof

I think melton is great, but the crime rate has shot through the roof in the last few months

Lived in a really small village near Lutterworth and now live in Hinckley.

 

Originally from Northamptonshire but dad is a lifelong Leicester supporter.

Ullesthorpe, burbage and barwell. But spent a lot of time out the shire.

 

 

We probably pissed on izzys bus if we saw it at away matches being the rival village!  edit: actually, the claybrooke lads were on our bus, must have been the Lutterworth bus iirc, Happy days! Lol

Lived in Mkt Harborough all of my life. Travelled around fairly extensively. If l was to move anywhere, it would probably be Canada. Beautiful.

Canada since.

 

That was in the late 70s. If you lived close by then and were in your early 20s you likely knew my dad and his massive brown family lol.

My Dad moved to Leicester growing up, before moving back to Yorkshire before I was born.

I was taken to games from a pretty young age and have kept going for around the last 35 years.

2. Born in Bond Street hospital (I think it's a Matalan now?) and lived just off Charnwood Street until I was 6. Went to Charnwood Street infants. I think that most of that area got demolished in the 70's.

 

Lived in Oadby until I was 16. Left school and headed South-West for a bit and never officially moved back home. Family still around Leicester.
