Illusion35 Posted 15 May 2014 Share Posted 15 May 2014 This is the first memory that popped into my head when I read the post! Not entirely sure if this is good or bad...but the crazy guys at the play off final v Derby who had a sheep's head on a stick wandering around shouting random insults, then arguing like crazy with the stewards that they should be allowed to take it into the stadium as it's not on the list of prohibited items! It was disgusting, but sort of funny at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Good memories were mostly from Filbert Street. * Pre-match music Republica *Standing in the kop with my dad * My first experience of European football ( Athletico Madrid) * 5 trips to Wembley, watching 3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat Bad memories * Leicester city squad 2005-2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay89LCFC Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 My best memory was watching us beat Tranmere 2-1 at Wembley in 2000, a great day as a kid going with my Dad and one I'll never forget. Worst was watching the 0-0 draw at Stoke on the TV to see us get relegated to League 1, didn't help it meant Cov stayed up and most of my friends and family are Cov fans, was horrendous.

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Wembley was our second home in the 90's. Can't believe we've not played at the new one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighty22 Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Best memory for me was my first trip to Wembley for the Middlesbrough game. It may have ended in a draw but what an experience for an 11 year old! Worst feeling, kind of stupid but brought a city shirt in the summer, got Izzet on the back and then he left us! Not had a name on a shirt since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loggy88 Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Great memories of us beating Tranmere at the cup final, the atmosphere at wembley was just amazing. Also beating Chelsea at filbert street in 97/98 was brilliant. European football against Athletico Madrid at Filbert Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverfan Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Best - Play off finals even Blackburn and Swindon just for being there. Worst - being relegated. Away at Oxford was really grim. Going back to the car in Portsmouth after play off s/f and finding four flat tyres. Made it home about 4 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-blue- Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 That game was the beginning of my hatred of Portsmouth. ....fooking scum. But that goal, that wonderful goal, scored by Joachim at the sitty ground....... Fantastic! !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverfan Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 That goal against Swindon is one of my best memories. Losing 4-3 at Newcastle and passing team bus on way home. Our bus was silent, the team looked they were having a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Ready To Go by Republica will always be a song that gets me excited, it worked so well at Filbert Street. Bring it back! Best memory probably Claridges shin, or Collymoores hat-trick. Worst memory. Rab Douglas coming thundering out to intercept a through ball and piling in to whoever it was that was bearing down on goal. Time and time again.

whetstonefox Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 The 94 play off final was memerable in so many ways but i always remember the ref Roger milford coming towards the tunnel end and he was given a good cheer and he just winked back , great ref...unless you are from Derby! Still Mike Reid screwed us over a few years later at Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Also, probably the memory that sticks with me most. Walking in to the family stand at Filbert Street. From what looked like a very ordinary street, through a turnstyle, up a flight of 5/6 stairs and then just being THERE. It hit me as a young chap every time like a tsunami, the atmosphere, the scale, the noise, just mind blowing, awe inspiring, something I'll carry with me forever.

sylofox Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Where to start? Jock Wallace as manager the atmosphere at the time. Shrewsbury in the cup Orient away Fullham away Oldham away Praps the greatest ever league away win Liverpool away (They had not lost at home all competitions for 3 yrs) The MON years. The Pearson years (such a shame he took a break) Lineker saving the club Our new owners ( and no I did not trust them to start with) We might not be Man U or City Arsenal Liverpool or Chelsea. But we have history and I for one am Proud to be a FOX. Born Bred And PROUD to be a FOX WYS for ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Well said Sylofox Personally that Wycombe cup game and away at Stoke were the worst (plus any defeat against F@@@@t) Best memories Jock Wallace promotion in 1979/80 Beating Newcastle at home 2-0 in the 80's to stay up Beating Oxford in 1990? To stay up Derby play off final win in 1994 Middlesboro cup final replay win in 1997 Tranmere cup final win in 2000 The League 1 champions season 2013/14 Championship season CHAMPIONS Many more I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanguedocFox Posted 16 May 2014 Share Posted 16 May 2014 Just an apprentice lad, 1955 for me I believe. I know, I dont look old enough, blah blah blah Aye, well when I were a lad, all we 'ad to eat were coal. Anyway. Great memories: My first match on a cold January afternoon in 1957, watching Arthur Rowley score in a 4-3 win over Grimsby to cement our top place. Beating Man U 6-0 in 1961, in the days when we always beat Man U at Filbo Gordon Banks against Liverpool in the 1963 FA Cup semi-final Going up with Frank O'Farrell in 1971, a couple of months before I got married Any number of games with Bloomfield's Londoners and Frank Worthington The 1990s, and making Wembley our second home - the only one I missed was Derby The "Bergkamp draw" against Arsenal, and the look on Walshy's face as he scored our third goal. The Pearson years, winning League 1 at a canter, two play-off semis and a glorious Championship season. Bad memories: Losing against Man U and Man City at Wembley (63 and 69) Matt Gillies leaving in 68 The 1980s (mostly) Peter Taylor: Wycombe and Bolton in particular The Mandaric years, and especially the 2007-8 season of Allen, Megson and Holloway Sousa and Eriksson Through thick and thin. A lot of thin but glorious, glorious thicks. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
