norfolkfox222 Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 For me it comes in the most awful season for us, when we got relegated to league 1 we beat Norwich at home 4-0. That day for me personally was amazing, sitting in a box for the first time with a load of Norwich fans. How the tide has turned!!
stripeyfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 Manchester United 0, Leicester City 1 (Cottee)
1964FOX Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 In recent years, the 4-0 at Chelternam, could have been 7 or 8. Bright sunny day, took over their pub and great atmosphere.
stripeyfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 5-0 cambridge was immense with what was at stake, considering they was a stong team then, we brushed them aside with an atmosphere that ill never forget from the city fans, i was in the double decker and at was like being in the kop! pure emotion. after the game the whole cambridge team stopped off at my local at the time the uppingham, and watched the highlights on the tv the only player who didnt get off the coach was claridge who was doing his bets for the next day. What a night that was. Was in the Filbert Street end. Tommy Wright, Steve Thompson, Ian Ormondtroyd, Tommy Wright and Kevin Russell if I remember rightly (in that order).
ithuriel Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 Atmosphere wise, City vs' Derby 3-3 when Iwan Roberts scored a hat trick, some peeps actually feinted and the StJohns ambulance men stretchered them out. The play off home game against Tranmere that ended with the players having a scuffle towards the end and Tranmeres keeper seeing red.
Bayfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 I agree with a few on this, WBA when pontus was about, amazing even if only for 45mins, Derby 4-0 was a great game even if I was playing so had to watch it on record after. The sunderland game was quality, i'd love to have the chance to know what that team could have go on to achieve. I'd also go for Swindon at wembley 2nd half obviously and agree with the above poster, I know it was L1 but cheltenham away, was how football should be played ( take notes pearson) But one i'd like to chuck in is Palace at Wembley go back and watch that game on DVD and just look at the stats, the amount of passes and time in possesion was quality, Barca esq before Barca.
stockyfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 For me, the best '45 minutes' performance by a Leicester City side was way back in October 13th 1962. Up against a star-studded Liverpool team, we completely outplayed them. It seemed every pass was inch perfect. The whole team clicked as a single unit and at half-time, we were winning 3-0 thanks to superlative goals from Davie Gibson, Albert Cheeseborough and Graham Cross. The second half? No more goals and a bit like after the Lord Mayor's show. The most nail-biting was the 1-0 defeat of again Liverpool in the 1963 FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough. A thriller was again 1963 when we beat Man Utd 4-3 at Filbo. Ken Keyworth scoring a hat-tick in six minutes and Denis Law scoring probably the greatest goal ever seen anywhere with his miraculous overhead bicycle kick on the way to his hat-trick. One of the most wonderful performances was the 6-0 thrashing of another star-studded Man Utd side in 1960/61 season. I could go on............. The 3-0 victory this season at Burnley nust also rank as one of Leicester's outstanding performances!
Corky Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 The 6-0 mauling of the Sheepy brothers up the road in 1909/10 by the Fosse has to be up there.
cc_star Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 Leicester 5-0 Cambridge Leicester 3-2 Derby... sometime under Little. 2 goals from Gee & winner from Thompson I think Leicester 3 - 4 Swindon Those 12mins at Wembley Vs Swindon Sheff Utd 1 - 3 Leicester. Oct '95 Under McGee, we were awesome that day That Sunderland game, like mentioned above, would love to seen that team stay together. Although we went on to do better than OK, if we hadn't have sold Heskey & instead added to that team I really wonder what we could have achieved Athetico Madrid... wow More recently the first half of the 2-0 win at Derby last season, we were awesome, in part assisted by a Derby team who didn't tackle or even press us, but showed what we could do if teams let us, unfortunately following that game, or more precisely from half-time in that game every team pressed us & tackled us & we never hit those heights again.
Raj Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 Some great shouts... The Iwan Roberts v Derby show The Villa Comeback The Swindon play off comeback Sunderland heskey/Collymore...what could have been eh??/ Spurs last game at Filbo Arsenal FA Cup tie too at Filbo was immense!
iamafox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 When we beat Brighton 2-0 in 2003, which was the day we got promoted to the Premier League.
Kitchandro Posted 17 January 2012 Author Posted 17 January 2012 The 6-0 mauling of the Sheepy brothers up the road in 1909/10 by the Fosse has to be up there. How about the 13-0 annihilation of Notts Olympic in 1894-95?
PAULCFC Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 All the usual ones.But one that sticks in my memory was v Swindon at Filbo under pleat,so must have been mid to late eighties.we were 3 down at half time but got a 3.3 draw out of it in the end.....anyone else remember that?
wellyfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 End of the 70's start of the 80's don't know what year. Boxing day or new yrs day away at Anfield. City win 2-1 and youngy bullets a header in for them. We was the first team to beat em at home in 3 seasons. (all compertitions) City players came over to us at the end to celerbrate. And the kop remained full. As our players turned to the tunnel The Kop sang you'll never walk alone to them in respect. And that was respect Nearly brings a tear thinking about it

tylesta Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 swindon town i know we lost but to come back from 3 goals down was awesome!!
stockyfox Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 Leicester City 4 Nottingham Forest 0 FA Cup 3rd Round Replay 17th January 2012
There's only one Izzet Posted 17 January 2012 Posted 17 January 2012 NAAAAAALLLLLLLLIIIISSSSSS! What a goal Haha! What a goal!
Mythyaar Posted 18 January 2012 Posted 18 January 2012 Both in 70s, greatest performance for me was 4-1 thrashing of Arsenal 1976, Weller, Worthington, Whitworth, Rofe, Wallington etc all at their peak. Most impressive performance that I've seen, again in the 70s was 1-0 win at Anfield, ending Liverpools 5 year unbeaten home record. That was extra special for me, and it mattered not that we were relegated that season!!
