OzFox Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 a few random thoughts... Pitch invasion against Brentford in the league cup after we scored 4 in the last nine minutes Bobby Gould in tears and appealing for calm after pre match violence at Coventry Keith Weller's tights Winning "All In the Game" in 1974 Ormondroyd getting his legs in a tangle at Ipswich The referee that tried a back-heel and fell flat on his face Pitch invasion after clinching promotion against Orient Erland Johnson's dive and ensuing publicity Players wearing the wrong studs and getting torn apart by Birmingham on an icy Filbert St pitch Players training under the pitch balloon Watching England v Argentina with three Leicester players in the team Having a player called Winston White Frank Worthington skimming the crossbar from a kick off agaiinst Arsenal (after we'd gone three down in ten minutes) Watching Heskey's debut and thinking he would never make a footballer in a million years...
Thracian Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 Watching Heskey's debut and thinking he would never make a footballer in a million years... He's still got time then!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 Elvis Hammond, Steven Hughes and Mark De Veris all scoring, to turn around a 2-0 deficit against Tottenham in the FA Cup. Yes that really did happen! Leicester vs Tottenham
sdb Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 a few random thoughts... Watching England v Argentina with three Leicester players in the team when was that? I remember Heskey's international debut v them, that was fab.
Wymsey Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 That fan (called Price or something) when we lost 4/5 -0 to the Villa at home who went on the pitch at the Walker's towards the goalie Ian Walker and Walker pushed him on the chest...
OzFox Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 when was that? I remember Heskey's international debut v them, that was fab. Mid 70's. Shilton, Worthington, Weller. Can just about remember Worthington scoring with some outrageous backheel or flick or something
lildave3 Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 I would like a thread that concentrates on all the weirdest and most random moments that we can be remember about our club. I'll start it off: - Harltepool away in the paint trophy - David Martin was warming up and hammered the ball into a female fan (behind the goal) and knocked her chips all over her causing her real distress - he apologised but both were very embarrased Clerest memory from that game is on the way there. Driving along the motorway and we go by a car with the registration plate: D13 JPT, or in human terms 'Die Johnstone's Paint Trophy'. Seemed to sum up quite a few people's thoughts on the competition on here
Spudulike Posted 4 December 2010 Posted 4 December 2010 Mid 70's. Shilton, Worthington, Weller. Can just about remember Worthington scoring with some outrageous backheel or flick or something Didn't Steve Whitworth play in the same England team ?? I'm sure that I remember England beating Northern Ireland 1-0 with a Weller goal at Wembley and the Mercury headline was City 1 NI 0. Bit of Googling to find the answer, I think.
OzFox Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Didn't Steve Whitworth play in the same England team ?? Looks like he played a year later, when Shilts had moved to Stoke and Weller and Worthington had been dropped. England results Shame David Nish had moved to the Sheep in 74. That would have made it four in the same team
rico Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Last game of 92 season,Leicester vs Newcastle 1-2,Keegan had not been in charge long,Gavin Peacock had given them a 1-0 lead,Walshy scored the equaliser and then gifted them an own goal.pitch invasion,fighting and a pigs head with Fook Off written on it tossed from the double decker into the away fans
Edmund Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 He's still got time then! He just needs a manager who can see that his best position is CB
Karljohn Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Taking over Peterboro but losing 3-0, starting fires from disgarded sporting greens (yes greens in those days) Swindon away first game under Brian Little, covering the blokes garden behind the away end in tickertape (torn up sporting greens) and then stood at the back watching the city fans chase the swindon fans out of the ground at the end. Gerry Taggart clearing the ball into touch and into the face of a disabled fan up at Middlesboro, Gerry apologised afterwards. The boro fan who chucked hot coffee (?) over the lino at Filbert St The flask thrown onto the field at Molyneux after Heskey scored, shattering into a zillion pieces and just missing Emile. Being found out sat in the old Chelsea bench seats (home end) for not standing up when Chelsea scored (3-0 down after 8 mins) they soon caught on that I was LCFC. Last season Gallagher smashing the ball onto a womans head in the warm up, he offered his training top via the ball boy who was politely told to shove it! Snowball fight at Walsall away League 1 Southend away 91/92 baking hot in August, 1 nil down, 2-1 up, Tommy Wright and Steve Walsh in last 5 minutes, mayhem, absolute mayhem in the away end. The Red Star Belgrade Mist. Steve Lynex breaststroke against Southampton on the waterlogged pitch
