Record Breakers

Phillips didn't break the oldest player record, he broke the oldest goalscorer record. Joe Calvert still holds the record for the oldest ever Leicester player.

Most league wins in a season was Doncaster with 33 in 1946-47. 9 wins out of our last 12 games and we'll equal this, 10 and we'll beat it.

Record Breaking Phillips

Kevin Phillips

City’s match-winning striker Kevin Phillips wrote his name into the history books on Saturday afternoon as he became the Club’s oldest-ever goal scorer, surpassing the great Arthur Chandler.

Phillips came off the bench against AFC Bournemouth to score in the 81st minute with a header that just crept over the line, handing City a 1-0 win and their ninth straight victory in the league, which is a record in itself. 

At 40 years and 191 days, Phillips’ phenomenal scoring feat was marked with a typically good-humoured ‘zimmer frame’ celebration at the Goldsands Stadium, but the records may not end there.

If he features against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 15 February, Phillips will surpass Chris Powell’s record as the Club’s oldest-ever outfield player

OP says Phillips broke the oldest outfield player record. Joe Calvert was a goalkeeper.

 

Calvert played for us aged 40 years and 313 days, and unfortunately Kev will get to that age towards the end of May. Would be great if NP gave him five minutes in a match at the start of next season: or maybe we could ease up a bit and get to the playoff finals on 26 May.

Sorry to be a pedant but there is usually only trace amounts of blood found in meats (this is drained prior to distribution). The red juice in a steak is just myoglobin.

We've broken the record for consecutive away games unbeaten. Now stands at 11 and counting :).

Fantastic stat is that Stan and really well done. Let's be honest some seasons it's an achievement to go one game unbeaten away lol

In all seriousness great stuff from City

And it's 25 successive games without failing to score and counting, as well. Good times.

Definitely. Not only have we won promotion but we're doing it in style. Players are making history. Literally.
