Leicester City Personalised Football Diary
Terrific Diary Gifts for Leicester City Fans!
Leicester City FC was formed in 1884 and although the Foxes have won many Second Division titles and League Cups, the club has been incredibly unlucky not to have added more honours to their list. The club’s first four FA Cup finals all ended in disappointment, giving Leicester City the unfortunate record of the highest number of final losses without ever accomplishing a win. Two play-off finals also ended in narrow defeat in the 1990s, before Leicester finally won promotion to the Premiership on their third successive attempt in 1994. This victory was the club’s first win at Wembley Stadium in seven appearances, perhaps explaining why the London ground is not a favourite stadium of fans of the Foxes!
Our Personalised Leicester City Diaries reminisce upon this play-off win and a selection of other exciting Leicester FC performances, featuring reproduced match reports written by journalists who attended these games in person. Starting from the month of your choice, these A5 Diaries are the perfect gift for any supporter of the club.
Diary Highlights
Other highlights included in these Personalised Leicester City Diaries include match reports on the 2-0 victory against Spurs in the first leg of the 1961 FA Cup semi-final, the 2-1 victory against Charlton in 1980 that guaranteed Leicester the Second Division title, and the 5-0 thrashing of Cambridge in 1992, which earned the Foxes a place in the first ever Championship play-off finals.
The A5 Diary also features a selection of newspaper stories on a variety of matches from the past decade. In 2002, Leicester City played their final match at Filbert Street before moving to the Walkers Stadium, beating Spurs 2-1. In 2003, Leicester FC thrashed Leeds United 4-0, which kicked off an incredible season for the club, who were coming back from a period in administration. The Foxes would eventually finish as runners-up in the Championship, guaranteeing promotion to the Premiership.
This latest period for the club in the Premier League accompanied Craig Levein taking over as Leicester City manager. Our unique Diary Gift incorporates an article on his first game in charge, which would end in a convincing 3-0 win against Coventry.
