Leicester_Numan Posted 15 January 2013 Share Posted 15 January 2013 Best:-Winning the Worthington Cup at Wembley & the limo ride to and from the stadium. Worst:-The very near closure of the club. I never want to go through that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted 15 January 2013 Share Posted 15 January 2013 Best: Winning at Wembley, although I absolutely loved the 4-3 at Chelsea which has probably been the best atmosphere at an away match. Worst: Losing at home to Sheffield Wednesday the season we got relegated. Just knew we'd go down after that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best - Walking out with Matt Elliott at Ipswich as mascot and running up and down with Muzzy Izzett! We lost 2-0 though... Worst - Chris Weale's mistake at Forest to make it 3-2 as I went to that, whereas I wasn't there for Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 You poor lad. You've pretty much missed out on the last decent stuff excluding getting promoted to L1. Mind you, it should mean that your expectations are slighlty lower... I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Steve Thomson's equaliser against Swindon was pretty epic....still sends shivers down my spine watching that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best either Derby 94 or Heskey's equalizer at Wembley against Boro. I couldn't go to the replay and I'd sat sobbing as a kid towards the end of the first game, convinced we were going to lose, when Emile scored. The place went nuts and I got hoisted out of my seat and sent crowd surfing by the blokes around me. Just such a great moment. Worst? Either Atletico at home or relegation a la Stoke.

HitchinFox Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best memory - first ever game. The old man took me to Filbert street on Boxing Day 1986. 1-1 against the Arsenal. Brilliant atmosphere. Arsenal won the title that year - and nicked Alan Smith of us for a bargain. And we got bloody relegated, not to return to the top flight until 1994. Typical. Probably explains my bitterness in later life. You give a kid something, then you take it away. For eight feken years. Worst memory? Every single relegation from the Prem. Hard to pick between them. When we went down to League 1 I knew we'd win it and get straight back up. It's different with the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best:- 3-3 Arsenal. What a night, they made us look poor but never say die, I have seen better games and bigger but nothing like this, and after the final whistle I was sure Walsh was going to put one on Wright Worst: losing to Sheffield at home after being 1-0 up and Hollowhead just standing there looking lost. Their fans chant you where 1-0 up and ducked it up. I knew then would would be going down something I thought I would never see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianity77 Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Quite a few stick out for me. The Derby Playoff win was great. Nailbiting all the way through and right until we scored the winner I never thought for a moment we were going to win this game as we played so poor and Derby missed a couple of absolute sitters! (Kitson and Johnson if i remember correctly). When Walsh scored with about 5 minutes to go I remember nothing apart from picking myself off the Wembley floor and scrabbling around trying to find my LCFC player signed beanie hat!! The Palace playoff was also great. Probably the maddest I've ever gone over a Leicester goal when Claridge hit the winner in the 120th minute (well, this goal and Walshs goal in the 3-3 Arsenal game are both close). More recently, Howards goal V Leeds sticks out. Seemed like 30K people all breathing a massive sigh of relief when he scored, happy times indeed!

rico Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Quite a few but the 3-1 win against Spurs at home in the 94/95 season was one of my favourite games and i think our 1st win in the Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Coast Fox Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best: Norwich in the FA cup last season. Worst: Swindon away in the league 1 season. Was jet lagged and the guy in front of me flicked his burning fag ash in my eye... Throwing away a 2-0 lead late on didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best : Claridge 96 Worst : Stoke 08 This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 I should probably add Barnsley at home to my worst memory. Not just because we lost, but I went on the pitch as my dad's mate sponsored the game and asked Wellens to kick the ball to me when he was doing keepy ups. It hit my foot and just rolled away, safe to say I won't be getting a trial with the club any time soon. Not to mention about 20,000 fans were in the stadium at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best - 94 play off final against Derby Worst - Relegation to League One This for me too, although losing at home to SWFC from 1-0 up was a massive low at the end of the season which saw us plummet to new depths.

isaidno Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best - Steve Claridge winner vs Palace, play off final Worst- 4-3 Defeat to Newcastle , 1996-97 season. Absolutely gutted to blow a 3-1 lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighton78 Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Best - 2-1 Tranmere Worthington Cup Final Feb 2000 - winning a proper trophy at the real Wembley. Worst - 0-5 Bolton August 2001 - knowing the season was over at half-time on the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 As I'm only 16 I feel I have missed nearly all the ups and downs of the team I support apart from obviously the league 1 promotion which to this day is the best night of my life, so what is your best and worst memory of the foxes? Best - Claridge "shinning" it in against Crystal Palace with 2 seconds of extra time remaining in the play off final. Amazing scenes at Wembley and was privileged to have been there! Worst - getting relegated to League One. I was devastated and cried buckets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Numan Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Lots of people who's worst memories are of losing games when we were a Gnat's knacker away from losing the club. Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Bit older than most sadly. Best memories; Alan Clarke scoring in Semmi against West Brom at Hillsborough to put us through to FA cup final in 1969 Joe Waters first goal against QPR in FAcup in 1974 Claridge in 96 Wembley Claridge in 97 Hillsborough Cottee at Man U when we won 1 0 Ian Marshall in Madrid in 1997 Best one of the lot: Keith Weller - quite simply the best player I have ever seen or likely to see in a city shirt Worst - Easy. Worst night ever as a city fan. Harlow away lost 1 0 in the FA cup replay. Yes I attended all of those and still go today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinFox Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Lots of people who's worst memories are of losing games when we were a Gnat's knacker away from losing the club. Amazing Fair point. But maybe the fact that we still go promoted that season made people not realise (or deny) how bad it really was? Also, Lineker's salvage mission was already in motion when we finally slid under. I remember being genuinely worried, but it was an ongoing thing that always looked like being sorted somehow - at least in my mind. Naive, perhaps, but there we go. Also, when asked about memories, I guess one moment in time is usually what people refer to (like the day you get promoted or relegated) - rather than a long, drawn out saga? The day we went into administration there were pictures of Lineker in most papers, saying how he was going to save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmesefox Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 When we beat tranmere in the playoff semis to get to wembley. I remember it was a nightmatch and just jumping up into the arms of a young down syndrome lad that I'd never met before as we hugged. Take that one to the grave with me!

lavrentis Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Not really a good memory I guess but when we Played Derby in 2002 IIRC and we beat them 3-1 there was a problem with the tickets, they were fraudulent or duplicates or something so we were marched through all the corridors into the stadium past all the players when they were coming out into our seats at the other end of the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 16 January 2013 Share Posted 16 January 2013 Don't see how many people could not go with relegation to League 1. Probably one of the only times I've cried over football and is the only justifiable one. I hate it when I see Man U fans etc. crying when they lose a cup final or lose out on the league title; cheer up, you're going to have another chance to win it again next year! We actually had a good team when we went down so it meant we were going to lose lots of players and we lost one of the few things that gave us claim to being a big club which was the fact that we'd never dropped out of the top 2 divisions. Still, it worked out for the better and its always nice to see our lowest ever finish at 1st in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
