filbertboy Posted 28 January 2009 Share Posted 28 January 2009 I'll be boring and say my first ever game when we won 3-1 at Villa Park in November (I think) '96 . Before that game Doug Ellis the then Villa Chairman said that the difference between Villa and City was that Villa were a steak and chips club and City were a beans on toast club !! What a feast City had !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted 29 January 2009 Share Posted 29 January 2009 I love watching that again. The team is awful on paper, even worst on the pitch, Derby outplay us from start to finish and we somehow manage to score two goals in the last ten minutes to nick it. Heroic. Alex Alex Alex !!!!!!!!!! Walshies 1st was in the first half when Iwan manhandled thier keeper Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Half Wonder Posted 29 January 2009 Share Posted 29 January 2009 City's best eleven ever, for one game only - beating Sunderland 5 - 2!! privaledged to be there. Collymore hatrick on his full home debut, the following week Heskey join Liverpool for £11.5m and it pretty much all went downhill from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 30 January 2009 Share Posted 30 January 2009 Leicester City 3 - Fiorentina 3, Filbert Street, 2001/2 Got to see Dean Sturridge look like he had been an excellent signing, and saw some of my favourite players, Nuno Gomes, Enrique Chiesa, and Angelo Di Livio. Great game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 30 January 2009 Share Posted 30 January 2009 Chiesa was a magician that night He got two didn't he? I remember Sturridge did, can't remember the other City scorer. Used to love Firoentina around that age, when they had Batistuta, Rui Costa, Chiesa, all that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosmanana Posted 30 January 2009 Share Posted 30 January 2009 Even though we lost on this day, the away game at Wolves the season we got relegated was awesome. 3-0 up at half time, and manage to lose 4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 30 January 2009 Share Posted 30 January 2009 Even though we lost on this day, the away game at Wolves the season we got relegated was awesome. 3-0 up at half time, and manage to lose 4-3 Certainly a memorable game - not for the right reasons though. It was a devastating end to an already horrendous week. I went to that match when I was really too ill to leave my bed. It's a miracle I'm still around to tell the tale...

BruinFox Posted 31 January 2009 Share Posted 31 January 2009 For me there are two : LCFC vs Shrewsbury in the FA Cup - enough said for any one who was there, and the FA Cup meant something. LCFC vs. Liverpool 3-3 at Filbert Street 18/04/84 - what a game Liverpool in their prime with Dalglish, Souness, Rush. First time in the cop @ 14yrs old - atmosphere unbelievable. Plus got to rub it in with my school mates in East Anglia the next day who were all Liverpool fans but never seen a match. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clazkel Posted 31 January 2009 Share Posted 31 January 2009 The best games for me have to be: Palace play off final, we didnt buy the cheap seats (for a change), but the seats were awful, it felt like we were in the roof but it didnt matter when super Steve scored, and it was a weird feeling when Kalac come on and people werent sure whether it was a good move or not Swindon play off final, the feeling of coming back from 3-0 down was amazing Arsenal 3-3 (sitting in the Northstand - quality) Chelsea away last season, lost but what a great atmosphere, it got me hooked on away games Another game which was a classic was Derby at Filbert street in 1994, 3-3, when Iwan got a hat trick, and Kitson got 2 for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey54 Posted 6 February 2009 Share Posted 6 February 2009 Been trying to dig up the goals from my favourite game ever - purely for the quality of the football. Its back to 1974 - the FA Cup away at Luton. Brilliant display on a poor surface (as highlighted by ex Leicester player Rodney Fern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Swindon game where I had to sit up there... I think the tickets were something like £50, but the seats were really well cushioned. The Palace game we sat near the Royal Box, that was an experience, and the Derby game we were right near the Tunnel... I loved those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 6 February 2009 Share Posted 6 February 2009 in terms of atmosphere , 3-3 leicester v derby during our promotion season under brian little. iwan roberts scored a hat trick , jimmy greaves was sung about ," hes fat , hes round , he rolls along the ground , jimmy greaves , jimmy greaves" apparently he was commentating the match for central sports special later that night. the atmosphere was so electric two poeple feinted and we had the sight of st.johns ambulancemen stretchering poeple away in front of the kop. even during the warm up things were fun , twice the derby keeper lost his practice ball into the kop and when he asked for his ball it was just bounced around in the kop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneDog Posted 6 February 2009 Share Posted 6 February 2009 Beating Derby in play-off final was an amazing feeling. I remember looking up at the scoreboard and it said "Congratulations to Leicester City, you are in the Premier League" or something like that. So emotional. The 4-0 thrashing of Derby in our first game at Pride Park was special too. I also remember really enjoying the 0-0 against Wolves when 'The Hot Dog Kid' made his debut. He made some outstanding saves that day. And of course the 2-1 against Spurs, went mental when Muzzy scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
