Hello all, long time lurker.

Been a fan since my first visit to Filbert Street vs Stoke in 1990. Been a season ticket holder since 1995.

So seen the good, bad, amazing & truely awful times.

Hello

I've been a Leicester fan since childhood. The first match I remember was the 1963 cup final. I was born in London and have lived there all my life. My dad was from Leicester, my mum from London. We had a lot of family in Leicester. In the early sixties there were 5 London teams in the first division - we used to go to all the matches. Because thet were obviously away games we often lost! I remember so well beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in 1964 or 65. It was quite some before I went to Filbert street. The first match I saw there was against Chelsea we drew 1-1 and missed a penalty!

I am new to this forum. Been a foxes fan since the 80's as a youngster, when David Pleat was in charge. Now go with my kids and sit in P3.

[Pete from the USA]

I live near Chicago in the USA, played football (soccer here) every day since I was eight years old, but never had any interest in European leagues because the same teams win every year (Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus, whatever). Yawn. I got hooked on the Premier League when Leicester won the title. It was bigger than football; it showed that rich people don't always run the world. I only know about Manchester United or Chelsea because they sometimes play Leicester. Go Foxes!

Hello all

Been a supporter since early 90s   first game was oxford at home in 91 when we stopped up. Since then they have consumed my life. Good times and bad I've been there. 

[RutlanderFox]

Hello,

 

I started being a Leicester fan as a child and my first game was a home defeat to Preston in 2006. I have been a season ticket holder for 9 years which has coincided with our recent journey from bottom to top. I've enjoyed every minute of the highs and lows and when you look at some clubs who have the same old boring seasons year after year, say Ipswich, I couldn't have asked for a more fascinating club to support!

[Dr Marco]

Hi everyone,

This is Marco from France! i live near Bordeaux and i've been supporting the foxes since I was a teen.

My dad was born in England and grew up in Leicester. He was a Leicester City Supporter (favorite player: Franck Worthington)

Sadly he died three years ago from cancer

 

As i'm french, the french team I support is As Monaco!

I ****ing love Claudio Ranieri for what he achieved at both clubs!

 

I'm a huge music fan too!

 

Cheers!

Dave's the name; brought up Aylestone &St Matthew's. Now live in Barnet, North London. First game aged 7 in October '52..City 2 Plymouth 0 - Hines and the great Arthur Rowley scored. Still on Cloud 9 after winning the League. If I kick the bucket tomorrow I'll die a happy man.

Hi all - I live in New York City, USA.  I grew up playing soccer and always watched World Cups from '94 (9 years old) on.  In college my friend was a big Bayern fan so I started watching more European soccer (and playing tons of FIFA).  In US of course the Premier League has the most coverage and was easiest to follow. 

 

Eventually I wanted to pick a team to support but it was too artificial.  I grew up in PIttsburgh which has a very large sports culture and am a dedicated fan of the teams there.  I just didn't have that kind of emotional connection to any soccer team, so I ended up being a fan of the game, and EPL in particular.  I basically rooted against all the big money top 6 teams and rooted for some smaller teams (over the years Blackpool and Norwich come to mind).  It wasn't that simple (there's plenty of crappy teams I don't like!), but I could never just decide I was a Man U fan or something.  This continued for years until 3 seasons ago. 

 

Naturally as a newly promoted side that shared the name of my High School (Foxes), I took a liking to Leicester and were rooting for them.  Then the Great Escape.  So 2 years ago going into the season I was already gravitating towards them.  In the USA, for the last couple years you could watch EVERY premier league game on a regular cable package.  So it was awesome (they stopped it this year).  I watched all of Leicester's games from the first game of the season on.  Watching that season unfold was nuts.  The story, cast of characters, individual players, style of play... they earned my support when no other team could.

 

I'm hoping to make it out for a game or two before the end of the season.

Good morning!

 

New member here, but not new to foxestalk. I’ve been a ghost for many years, reading as a guest but finally decided to register.

 

Ive been a city fan all my life, and there was no choice initially.

i went to my first city game at the age of 4, and remember having a shirt with 7 on the back as Julian Joachim was my favourite player at the time.

 

i was a season ticket holder for many years, along with the many Wembley trips in the 90s etc.

i saw us lose to spurs, win against tranmere, and was lucky enough to be there for the Home defeat to athletico Madrid in the late 90s.

 

now 29, I don’t get to anywhere near the amount of games I would like to, but am still as passionate as I ever was.

 

glad to finally be a part of foxestalk!

Hello all. It’s been awhile since I was on here, so I’m reintroducing myself. I am in Indianapolis Indiana, I became a Leicester fan when I looked through my late mother’s genealogy records and discovered I had an ancestor from Leicester back in the 1500s! I couldn’t remember my ID to login until I finally found it today. I hope we stay up, I don’t get Championship matches on my tv anywhere.

Well that is as good enough reason as any to stay in the Premiership

 

Welcome back x

Thanks! Watching right now...

Long time lurker (as is the norm), decided to join to crack a rubbish joke. Love the humour on FT, favourite topic ever: Cheeses Dinosaur. First ever Leicester game 1-0 against WHam, Steve Kember goal....which really dates me!!! Scary (but not as scary as THAT first visit to a Circus in Skeggy around the same time)Live in Overseal.

[81pts]

Groby for a bit in the 60’s
Lived round the corner from Graham Cross
Best matches ... Champions League
Worst ... 1-0 win away at Watford but didn’t realise how far I had to walk through the allotments so missed the goal in the first minute

Evening, New member. North Birmingham....Season Ticket Holder and do the away games too with the lad. Started going early seventies and hooked ever since....

[TeaMen Tom]

Call me a bandwagon jumper...I'm in the USA, have followed the EPL for the past several years but have always adopted one team at the start of a season and stuck with them. I didn't start out following the Foxes during their title season, but thst's when they became my team. I root for the underdog - and  I consider what they did the equivalent of the USA Olympic Hockey Team's 'Miracle on Ice' or baseball's 1969 Miracle Mets (look them up...lol).

 

I'm fascinated that with the deck stacked to heavily in favor of the big teams this team found a way during one historic season, so naturally I was drawn to 'what happens next'.  I'm not expecting a repeat any tine soon, but I'm a big fan of several of the players, love the fan support and enjoy their counter-attacking style.  Really want to get to a match at the King Power sometime soon.
