Late 70's against Florist. Not sure of the score or team as I wasn't really into football then and was dragged along by my dad sitting in the old main stand at Filbo St. Next game I went to was Leicester against Sheffield UTD with a few mates where they won and went up. Baptism of fire that game was......

Ditto, I was 7, my dad kept a promise he made a year earlier.My next game was again to see the hammers ,with my dad a couple of years later.We won 2-0 Bobby Moore ruffling my hair and making a young lads day.

I was 10 when I was first allowed to go alone with my best friend, that was then 64/65 season. 3-2 beating Wolves.

1st away game, that was with my uncle and cousins, West Ham 65/66 sesson 2-5 for city.

3 greats scored The Doug, Goodfellow, Jackie Sinclair,

West ham became my 2nd favourite team in my childhood.

oh leicesters todays younger fans hated dr hyde played that day , your own Harry Redknapp.

Hammers and Leicester were recognised as the entertainers in those days.

Unfortunately, the 3 scorers didnt stay much longer, broke many a fans heart.

Stevie Claridge's winner v Palace is my earliest memory of watching us BUT my first match at Filbert Street was a 1 - 0 win against Watford in the O'Neill years, with Muzzy scoring the winner.

 

My Dad supported us from the 60s and myself, since the 90s. If I ever have kids - they will follow suit (already working on my nephews and nieces though with some good response!)

I'm a Johnny-come-lately and my first memory of watching Leicester was with Paul Dickov at Elland Road (I think?) some time like 10-12 years ago or some such. Think the score was 4-0? It was fun. I was hammered.
