Famous City Fans

Recommended Posts

Novelist Julian Barnes

 

"In my writing I once allowed myself to compensate for Leicester's lack of achievement. In A History of the World in Ten and A Half Chapters, Leicester win the Cup 5-4 in heaven after coming from behind on four separate occasions. Then the England manager picks the whole Leicester team en bloc for the World Cup and they beat Brazil 4-1 in the final. It's clearly a work of fiction! "

I've read this book and the section about City is brilliant. Totally recommend the book

Aggers went to Uppingham school and played for leicestershire so maybe he feels like its his adopted city ....

Lived on my road in Glenfield when I was a kid-top lad! He's definitely a Leicester man, and as such I'd guess City too...

Also, obviously Gordon Banks is a Leicester fan.

He mentioned Charles Dagnall when he appeared on Innuendo Bingo on Radio 1 during the week.

 

How does Aggers have a connection to LCFC?

 

Played most of his cricket career for LCCC. Not especially a football fan but he has been seen at LCFC matches. He was actually introduced to the crowd at Filbo back in the day.
