Leicester City 2 - 0 Norwich City, League Cup 3rd Round
Dad took me and my friend, James Moore, for my birthday treat. I remember sitting in the kop, refusing to cheer when we scored, eating smoky bacon crisps (Walker's of course!) and the smell of cigarettes and Bovril.
There have been some great one's, Playoff Final & League Cup Wins at the old Wembley, beating Derby 4-1 with some of the best football I've ever seen us play but I'm not sure anything will ever come close to...

Leicester City 5 - 3 Manchester Utd, Premier League
Didn't expect much, Wayne was confident of some kind of a result (as usual!) Utd were all over us 1st half, Angel Di Maria scored an amazing goal and it looked as though the moneybags were going to give us the pasting everyone expected. However, Leo Ulloa got one straight back and we managed to get to half time only 2-1 down. Respectable.
I wasn't impressed with Utd's defensive setup and was confident of more goals for both teams 2nd half (had a silly bet on 4-3 to City!) Utd scored a
3rd goal and the game should've been in the bag but a very kind penalty, scored by David Nugent, got us back to 3-2 after Jamie Vardy's constant harrassment of Rafael caused him to be tapped over in the box. City kept the pressure on Utd from the restart and within two minutes we had the equaliser!! Esteban Cambiasso!!! What a guy!!
Not a single Leicester fan would've complained if we'd hung on for a draw but it was clear we weren't bothering with that. More pressure from City leading to a perfect through ball from Ritchie DeLaet to Vardy who finished past David De Gea as if the net was empty!!! 4-3 to Leicester!! Pandemonium!!! In all the cheering and all round euphoria I forgot about my half time bet, but as I realised I could cash out (over £100!!) Vardy was through again and this time he was hacked down for a definite penalty... "CASH OUT" IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THIS BET
WHO CARES!!!! Ulloa knocks his second in and Leicester are 5-3 up! Absolutely unbelievable!! I'm sure I wasn't the only City fan thinking we could still let two in with 10mins to go!!
There's the first two Play-off finals at Wembley where we were robbed by awful penalty decisions, the 2nd against Swindon Town was right at the end of a game that we'd come back from 0-3 down at half time!
There were a few 0-1 losses when we were starting to play good football again in Pearson's 1st & 2nd stints as manager. If we went 0-1 down at home teams would just shut up shop and we'd huff and puff and get nowhere, which was a shame cos we were playing good football just not making enough chances.
But the winner is...

Leicester City 0 - Burnley 1, Championship
I got a free ticket in an executive box and still hated every second of that game. Both teams awful, Burnley got a crap goal and then wasted time for the remaining 70mins. It was freezing cold. But the absolute worst memory is that Darren Kenton once played for us.
The Old Wembley. I remember walking down Wembley Way, it was May 1992 Play off final vs Moneybags Blackburn Rovers. I'd have been 10yrs old. I remember seeing the two towers and the stadium that I knew so well from the telly, all that history was right in front of me! I remember old metal turnstiles and wooden gates with the dark red paint flaking off revealing old coats of paint that were there in the summer of 1966! They should never have knocked it down!
Pointless place! Like watching a game through a letterbox!
