I can’t believe this is that long ago. My mate and I were there behind the goal. Anyone else?
So yes 50 years ago today we played at Luton in the 5th round of the FA Cup. They were in the old 2nd division, going well and would be promoted that season. A difficult match on paper. They also had our old player Rodney Fern up front who bless him , was still only 23 but looked 45!
It turned out to be a rout and one of our best displays in years. The late great Malcolm Allison described it as good an away performance he’d ever seen ( I think that’s correct?).
Great display, a packed Leicester end and one of my all time favourite Leicester goals scored by the mercurial Keith Weller.
For our younger readers here’s the match. Enjoy.
