The Year Of The Fox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 I just want to say how good that new History section of foxestalk is. It's worth a website address on it's own. I always knew who we played in my first ever game my dad took me to, and knew the score. But to be able to see the goals courtesy of youtube is just brilliant. The first time I've seen them since I was at the ground. Proud to say that day I was in the Pens aged 7. I don't remember much in all honesty From 1 min 48 seconds in This one was the next game I went to almost a year later which I do have memories of. What the clip doesnt show is an Everton player rattling the bar from miles out in the first half, and I vividly remember Duncan Ferguson being sent off for a straight red and our fans singing, 'cheerio Duncan Ferguson' I also remember the gasps of everyone around me as the Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich result was announced at fulltime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cN8JyNNbeXk Great memories and a great feature to this website! I know I've duplicated this thread on the Feedback section, but its worth another thread IMO
Spiritwalker Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 1977 Leicester 0 - 4 Liverpool 8 yrs old so I couldn't remember all the players. Just been on the new History page, excellent.
Danizen Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Leicester-QPR on my 6th Birthday. Can't remember much of the game just remember being told off by my dad for arguing with the bloke behind me.
kingfox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Family night football at Filbert Street was my first ever game. First ever League game was at the King Power, against Southampton I think, when Bale was playing for them.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Pretty sure it's the first time my impressionable 8-year old self heard "He's here, he's there..."
LTID Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 1966 City v Forest 3-0 up in first 15 mins! Happy Days!
coolhandfox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Vs Plymouth 1991, 2-0 win goals from Colin Gibson and Paul Kitson
Mark_w Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Family night football at Filbert Street was my first ever game. Same. My first game was something like Leicester Reserves 4-2 West Ham Reserves I think. The 2-0 over Watford (First game at the Walkers) was my first League game.
Stocker Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Beating Liverpool 2-0 early 80s just looked it up it was 1980 and we did the double over liverpool
dynamark Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 I have not the faintest idea but probably about 1964 with stringy oe the left and puffer riley on the right(should i be on bentleys roof?)
kingfox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Same. My first game was something like Leicester Reserves 4-2 West Ham Reserves I think. The 2-0 over Watford (First game at the Walkers) was my first League game. Seen so many of those games, so cheap as well, must of been about seven then. Probably seen some very decent players, but can only really remember one incident in particular and that was when Stefan Oakes smashed the ball out of the stadium.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 1 February 2013 Author Posted 1 February 2013 surely you can take the time to search for it in the history bit? makes it a bit more interesting i guess

Kitchandro Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 The history section is superb. I can't believe how far back the records go. http://www.foxestalk...ils.php?mid=587 Was sitting in the top tier of the double decker. Seeing the video actually jogs my memory, it's all coming back to me. I remember the ping followed by the roar when Bowyer hit the bar. Even as a 7 year old I knew he was a cvnt! The clearance off the line now rings a bell as well and I know somebody (Duberry?) was sent off for a foul on Heskey. Even without seeing the video Elliott and Izzets penalties are very vivid.
Amin Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Bradford vs Leicester 1999. I used to live near Bradford and my dad used to get free tickets for Bradford games (I saw pretty much all of Bradford's games in the prem).
Filbert The Fox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 16/8/1972 Home V Chelsea.1-1. Remember sitting on the wall at the front of the main stand (kop end).I'm pretty sure there was a chap that walked around the ground selling do-nuts.Will never forget it.Thanks dad for giving me the Leicester City Bug. :scarf:
Borderfox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 I can't remember the opposition, but the early fifties Arthur Rowley and Jack Frogget were playing and I'm not joking. I'm sure Rowley scored but that could be wishful thinking.
dynamark Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 remember they used to put the half time scores out on board around the ground-what was that all about something to do with the football pools? Toilets were disgusting but it was only 2 bob to get in
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Watford at home 1999. Remember it being a dull affair, 1-0 win thanks to an Muzzy winner. Gripped ever since. Can't remember the exact line up but can imagine it read something like Flowers Sinclair Elliott Taggart Guppy Impey Lennon Izzett Savage Heskey Cottee
sdb Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Watford at home 1999. Remember it being a dull affair, 1-0 win thanks to an Muzzy winner. Gripped ever since. Can't remember the exact line up but can imagine it read something like Flowers Sinclair Elliott Taggart Guppy Impey Lennon Izzett Savage Heskey Cottee What a team. My 1st game was Man Utd, Filbert Street, 1997. 2-2, Walsh and Marshall. There was even a special, early evening MotD for that game. I'm not making that up am I?? Think it was party because of Eurovision or something.
BoneDog Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 1-1 v Millwall 07.12.91 .... Att. 12,127 (thought it was more than that!) I was in Pen 3. Great days Eddie.
Borderfox Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 I can't remember the opposition, but Arthur Rowley and Jack Frogget were playing, so it must have been the early fifties. Just checked the history section Frogget joined the club in 1954, so I would be about 9 years old, I'm sure Rowley scored but that could be wishful thinking. However i did see him score he had a thunderous right foot shot, and with the heavy leather balls those shots were unstoppable. Congratulations to whoever put the history section together a terrific piece of work.
