Fox92 Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Not sure if already covered but it deserves a mention, surely!? 15 years tomorrow since the League Cup final win against Tranmere Rovers. Radio Leicester currently doing a special now. 6-7. O'Neill has just been on, as has Taggart. Heskey on now. Lennon on later apparently as well as Impey and a few others. Elliott obviously in the studio.

steveherbe Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Goosebumps! Thats when we had a bloody team - and a manager. Will we ever see that again?
m4DD0gg Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Remember me my brother and 2 mates getting our faces painted blue and white on wembley way before the match by some drunk man despite my fathers plea's that the paint being used was emulsion. Took 3 days to get off.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 What a team. Every single one of them that was on Radio Leicester Special was an exceptional player. Seems like yesterday but has made me strangely nostalgic. I forgot how much I loved Martin O'Neil as well as Lennon, Muzzy, Emile, Marshall, Guppy, Taggart, Cottee, Walshy etc etc etc I thought at the time that was the start of a Leicester Dynasty.
leicester4life Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Steve Guppy's left foot still gives me an erection.
ealingfox Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Just a shame we'd already won it after the semis. Walkover final devalued it a bit. Not as good as the '97 win.
Eddy Kellys Heroes Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Steve Guppy's left foot still gives me an erection. Really! Didn't know you were still seeing him?
DennisNedry Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Just a shame we'd already won it after the semis. Walkover final devalued it a bit. Not as good as the '97 win. Fair enough if we'd have coasted to a 3-0 but I'm sure most City fans were sweating when it went to 1-1. I have vague memories of grown ups around me being excited about it but at that age (7) I had been to matches but wasn't really 'hooked' yet.

I have vague memories of grown ups around me being excited about it but at that age (7) I had been to matches but wasn't really 'hooked' yet. I was 8 and there and I can remember not thinking at any point that there was even the slightest danger of us losing. We didn't even play well and still won fairly comfortably.
StanSP Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Magical day. Last ever League Cup final won at the Old Wembley. There's something seriously special about that. Something that will never ever be broken.
Bayfox Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 I was 8 and there and I can remember not thinking at any point that there was even the slightest danger of us losing. We didn't even play well and still won fairly comfortably. being 8 would be your problem. seen plenty of cup upsets to know that was never the case. i would have been about 19 and was never comfy with it. infact i was more convinced that we would win the boro replay when it was announced that our now oap was missing and ben roberts was in goal.
lgfualol Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 15 years later and we get knocked out by Shrewsbury.

Guest Cujek Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Special day. Wish we could take set pieces like those this season.
Stadt Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 what is that thing what elliot does when guppy kicks it
Bayfox Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 what is that thing what elliot does when guppy kicks it scores?
bovril Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Great day, although my abiding memory of the day is what a shithole Wembley was.
I blame Wellens Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 Great day, although my abiding memory of the day is what a shithole Wembley was.Nooo. Wembley for nearly 10 years belonged to us.
fleckneymike Posted 26 February 2015 Posted 26 February 2015 I Remember the bloke in front on me had a tattered old polyester scarf from the seventies tied round his wrist for luck. I Remember the Tranmere fans already having a banner for "we've only got ten men" and unveiling it after the sending off. I Remember Heskey demolshing the entire Tranmere defence. Brilliant day, especially considering the way we lost against Spurs the year before. (Travel back 12 months and many on here thought the current squad were better than that cup winning side.)
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 27 February 2015 Posted 27 February 2015 Brilliant. Leicester City winning the League Cup in the 1997 replay and the 2000 final against Tranmere are two of my favourite moments supporting City
Swiss_tony Posted 27 February 2015 Posted 27 February 2015 cost me an arm and a leg that did. couldn't fly over due to work, so i got my mum to put the phone up to the tv speakers for the whole 90 mins. ruddy great phone bill came soon after.
