Last Saturday morning I was at The Belmont Hotel in Leicester, eating a perfect breakfast with fellow foxes fans before the home game against Burnley. This Saturday morning I am at home in Norway, making my own meal, drinking my own brewed morning coffee out of my very own special cup, with my name on…

Brian Clough had a long stay at Leeds United compared to these three former Leicester City gentlemen
The talk of Brian Clough and his short stay at Leeds United, was not really anything compared to the experience of three former Leicester City men. 44 days was long compared to the four days Dave Bassett had at Crystal Palace back in 1984. Billy McKinlay was appointed manager at Watford in 2014, but after…
Leicester City made for greatness, but can they become a sporting force
After a delightful 2-1 win at home to Tottenham, with a group of Leicester City players that looks, in play, better than I have ever seen before, not forgetting Mahrez, Kante and other greats from the past. Of course every club needs to rebuild and slot in talent season in and season out, but when…
Where are they now, former foxes in action around in football
Nice to see Neil Danns back in action as he joined Tranmere Rovers from demolished Bury FC. The 36 year old former fox came on in the 2nd half for his debut in the League One game today against Burton Albion, helping his team to a 2-1 home victory. Former fox Jonny Heyes is at…
The reason why Leicester City will sell their best players, next out is this man
The cruel fact is that Leicester City will, as they have for the last three or four seasons, sell their best players.

Drinkwater’s sad decline, from bright Manchester United talent to Manchester Nightclub drunken fracas!
The decline of Danny Drinkwater is a “nightmare” to watch. A bright talent at Manchester United, and fantastic at Leicester City. No one faulted Danny, and as a Leicester City fan really loved his presence. Sadly he didn’t recognize the fans of this club in the same way, wanted to leave with a self belief…
Leaving Leicester City for a former Chelsea great and Dr. Constantin
Leicester City have parted company with young left back Alexandru Pascanu. Not much noticed in the English press with a minor fee paid by Romanian club CFR Cluj for the players services. The manager at Cluj is former Chelsea great Dan Petrescu, and they play their home games at the Dr. Constantin Radulescu stadium. Pascanu…
From Premier League to Gibraltar, Julian Joachim, our meeting and winning a bet
Being in Leicester for the last game of the season v. Chelsea made the journey special, not only because of the result and the game, but also because we “surprisingly” met up with Julian Joachim. We were all gathered at the Mumbai In, had ordered our food and were well seated, when I looked to…
