Lineker's Left Foot Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 I've been watching City since 1987 and my two favourite ever games were:- Nov 1987 old Second Division : MY FIRST EVER GAME ATTENDED was against Swindon Town when Bryan Hamilton was in charge. City were about mid-table and went 2-0 down to Swindon before half-time (Jimmy Quinn netting 2 - why did we let him go??). Then in the second half we came back and I think it was in the last 15 minutes or so we scored 3 goals to win 3-2!!!! Oct 1989? - old Second Division: David Pleat was in charge and we played table topping and big-spending Leeds United. We were 2-0 down at half time, but Paul Ramsey made it 2-2 with one goal being miles off-side !! Then Strachan made it 3-2 from the penalty spot for Leeds before the on-loan Paul Moran and Gary McAllister made it 4-3 to the Foxes - FANTASTIC. God what I would wish for a game like that now !!!

Durnerz Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 Away - Probably Charlton. The most complete performance i've ever seen from a Leicester side against the odds and the best possible way to win it in stoppage time. Home - Liverpool 2-0 was quality in 00/01 I think. They had just won the Worthington cup when they came to Filbert Street and we did them through Ade and Muzzy Leeds 4-0 also good and Derby 3-1.

Hitesh Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 Leeds 4-0 was good as was the Palace game at Wembley. My first time at Wembley so it was extra special. Have to say the Arsenal 3-3 game was a joy to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_wilson101 Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 3-3 home to Arsenal 2-1 down going into second half injury time then equalised only for Arsenal to take the lead again before Ian Marshall (I think) equalised with almost the last touch. Then Walshy and Ian Wright squared up to each other. Classic. Beating Boro in the Coke cup replay at Hillsborough was great too, plus Claridge's shinned last minute winner vs Palace for what it meant. Worst ever game - 5-0 home to newly promoted Bolton 1st game of the season the year we went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in the second half we came back and I think it was in the last 15 minutes or so we scored 3 goals to win 3-2!!!! That was entirely due to me. I went for a slash when we were 2-0 down and when I came back it was 2-2. I had a long wee to be fair, but then they did score those goals quite quickly. Mark Venus won it with a 30-yard piledriver.....and its not often you get to type that sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman of the Bored Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 I’ve been watching City since 1967 so almost too many to remember….first game Leeds (h), 0-0, Banks’ last for the club. As a 9 year old I was in awe of the floodlights and the crowd. Beating Liverpool 1-0 in the Charity Shield at Filbo (my old man gave a Scouser a good kicking. ). Charlton away (1970), won 5-0, imagine that now? Shrewsbury FAC quarter. Legendary. Fulham 1-0 under Wallace and Orient 1-0 to win the League. The FAC semi replay at Vile Park in 1974, Glover equalising, Leicester mayhem in the Holt End. Beautiful! Wimbledon at Palace in the League Cup semi, backs to the Wall for 119 minutes. The Palace play off final…..I’m getting greedy now. “Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end…..†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Doyle Posted 5 January 2006 Share Posted 5 January 2006 Showing my age now........ FA Cup Leicester V Leatherhead 0-2 down and we looked gone for all money.
