Location: Barrow (Near Loughborough - Leicestershire.)

Age: 16 (20/12/91)

Interesting personal achievements or goals:- I once played for Leicester academy.

- I played in goal in a district final in Cambridge. We won 2-1. Got a special mention at prize giving ceremony thing.

- I currently play for Barwell U18's. - I consider it an acheivement because it's a team in the highest league, in a year group above me. - With Hinkley players and a Dagenham and Redbridge player. I hope to use this year as a platform to higher levels of football.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC:

I started supporting Leicester when my Dad took me down to some Friday Night Football matches to watch the reserves. I then went to the odd game at Filbert street. The only two I can remember was the game Collymore scored a hat-trick. I was in the main stand right at the top with my mate and his Dad. I can also remember the last game at Filbert street. Matt piper scored the last goal - diving header.

Had a season ticket with my Dad in the west stand a couple of seasons later

Then two seasons ticket in the east stand.

I then went to the N block where I began singing at football matches and going to away days.

The season after I bought a season tickets with mates in the kop, and I am now buying tickets in K block most weeks.

Best match so far? Has to be Chelsea away.

Longest Journey? Plymouth away.

Other information:

Ermm... If generations continue in the same pattern as they have, and if I have kids - I should have twins.

I go to Rawlins Community College and am studying Stats, Physics, I.T and English Literature.

I am currently not in a relationship - The last one? Don't go there. <_<

Hello, first post. :D

I've been signed up for a few weeks now but I've only just managed to find the time to get on here. Just a few interesting (Ok, maybe not) facts; My name is Mark, my nickname is Porky because well, I uhh, love food, and also have a sweet tooth; I cannot turn down anything made from chocolate. Oh, I was also in the same class as syston_fox at high school for three years.

Location: Thurmaston

Age: 22

Interesting Personal achievements or Goals: Hmm, here's the bit I struggle the most on. I wouldn't say I achieved a whole lot to be honest. My GCSE's I managed to get mostly D's, the reason being I was quite unhappy at school and with life. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder which completely fooked me up, and I struggled through them. However, I managed to go on to Leicester college to take on a BTEC diploma in public services which to my surprise I passed with ease with a distinction.

Recently I managed to pass a Scout leadership course and I am now the assistant leader of the local cub pack trying to look after kids from the age of 8-10 years. More often than not I'm pulling my hair out, but I enjoy helping them learn new skills etc, and teaching them how to play football properly!

One achievement I am proud of is that after so many years I am finally getting rid of my anxiety, I'm still a bit shy at times but I've come a long way from where I used to be. My most important goal is to try and reduce my anxiety even more, settle down with a better job and just enjoy life.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC: I started supporting City in the 1995/96 season. Before I wasn't too interested in football, but seeing as my family are also city supporters it wasn't going to long before the pull of city took me a long too. The first game I went to was in fact the 1996 play off final versus Crystal Palace. Even though it was twelve years ago now I still have memories of that first game and Steve Claridge's wonder volley at the end of extra-time. Now have a season ticket after many years of not being able to afford one; For this season I'm in SK3.

Other information: I'm left handed, left footed and left eye dominant.

Age: 28

Interesting Personal achievements or Goals: Erm.... Don't really know if it's interesting or not but I finished my MA in audio production at Westminster a couple of years back and have since been working for the beeb. Firstly at Maida Vale as part of the archiving team, got to see a few interesting sets down there by artists. Best one was Jose Gonzalez for Radio 3. Have since moved to World Service and Radio 4 (soon to be 5 Live too hopefully) as a Studio Manager (button pusher/fader waggler). Am finally getting to do outside boadcasts, going to Geneva for the first beaming of the Hadron Collider at CERN next week, and Washington for the US elections next month.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC: Started going in 91/92 with my mate and his dad, but really the whole family has been into city since as long as I can remember. My mum always bangs on about the fact that my grandad wouldn't let her queue up for Beatles tickets when she was a kid as it coincided with a city game, which he let her queue up for tickets to :D never got to see The Beatles but has been watching city for decades.

Best ever City moment - Gotta be 94 playoff final, the whole day was just fantastic. I was there for the other playoffs too but that one was the best for me

Other information: Been a guitarist for about 15 years, I do write some electronic music and do some recording/mixing for bands and artists.

It can be, on other days it can be just as annoying as any job I guess. Tell you what though, it's surprising how little of the news you actually take in when your hear it constantly :D

Looking forward to the trips away though cos I haven't done much travelling :thumbup:

Millionairess, theres a few of them, Someone won the lottery who lives near me and some are just naturally rich. Nice to see a few more South Kesteveners!! It does have a train station!! but you have to request the train to stop. Ancaster has also been on Time Team about the Romans which I was on in the background, has 3 pub's and a famous road. I'm sure you already know this :D

Hmmm this could well be one of my mums oldest friends who won the lottery and moved to Ancaster a few years ago. My mum is planning to buy a house in Anny too so she's nearer me - there's another one for your collection.

Interesting personal achievements or goals:

Nowt much really. I like drinking, perhaps a career in that area? Otherwise I'm seeking a career in football journalism. I've always fancied doing that, combining watching my favourite sport with reporting it, plus receiving payment for my services.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC:

Well, I started supporting City from the 93/94 season. None of my immediate family were Leicester fans and I grew up among many Man Utd glory hunting little fuc kers. I started with my local team and stuck with it.

Interesting personal achievements or goals: I am the Founder/Chairman/Manager of a Sunday League Football Club. We're competing in Division 4 Charnwood Sunday League, Our League kicks off on the 7th September funnily enough vs Manwell Pablo's team. The goal is to do well this season as we have some very good lads and it's a chance for us to knockabout and play some football.

My only achievement is proving the doubters wrong whether it may be at School, Other Football Teams or other people. I'd just like to say thanks.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC: First game was against Sheff Weds in 1997? Midweek and Bruno Scored. That's all I can remember. I didn't really have much choice as I couldn't travel or go to games due to certain circumstances. But got involved in the project that was N Block and met some quality lads in there some are even close mates to this day.
