-- Reviews by the Famous and well Known
I will be taking the opportunity on our next away trip to test the boys on just how much they know about the club. Some of the questions certainly caught me out.

This is a fascinating read for the dyed in the wool Leicester supporter. It will test the memory to the ultimate degree.

'The Official Leicester City Quiz Book 'is a great idea. I'm sure more will follow and it will be good fun for all. I can see more quizzes appearing on the long away coach journeys.

A great idea, I wish you every success with the book.
Gary Lineker OBE, Leicester City Football Club (1978-1984)
~
I left my hometown club, West Ham United, in October 1996 for what I was hoping would be an end of career, financially rewarding, swansong. By the time July the following year came around I was desperately unhappy, homesick and missing English Football. I wasn`t too concerned because I always felt that I would return to play for a few more years in England with the likely destinations being Orient, Southend or Colchester. Never in my wildest dreams though, did I think I would return to the Premiership but when Steve Walford, an old team mate of mine and the now first team coach at leicester City, called me to say that Martin O`Neill was interested in signing me, I was absolutely stunned. It was to be the start of 3 fantastic years of success for me and the club.
I signed in August 1997, a week after Robbie Savage had joined the club and although I was made very welcome and became a part of the first team squad it took me fully 6 months to get fit and convince the Manager I was worthy of a starting place. Eventually Martin picked me and I am proud to say that I was part of the team that won 1-0 at Old Trafford in January and scored the winning goal, my first ever at the Theatre of Dreams. I never looked back after that and after establishing myself as a regular partner for Emile Heskey, the goals flowed and the success came with it. I scored my 200th League goal at Spurs, played in Europe for the first time and played in the 1999 League cup final which we lost. I thought I was destined never to win my first winners medal but the following year we beat Tranmere 2-1 and lifting the Cup that day was a memory that will stay with me forever more.
My career lasted 20 years but I can honestly say that my 3 year spell at leicester was my happiest times in the game. The joy came from the top with Martin, Steve and John Robertson creating a fantastic team spirit and atmosphere around the place. The players revelled in it and boy, did we have some fun! But, I look back with immense pride about 2 things. I was very lucky to have played with the likes of Lennon, Izzet, Walsh, etc and many more outstanding players. We created a successful period for the club which will probably never be repeated. I also feel proud to have played for Leicester City FC, which is a wonderful club that has fantastic people working for it in all areas at both the ground and training ground and is blessed with a very loyal and passionate group of supporters. Magical memories they were and as I look back on the journey now, some 7 years later, my feelings for the club haven`t diminished, in fact, they have got stronger. I am proud to say that "I was there!"
I am delighted to have been offered the chance to write this foreword for the Leicester City Quiz Book because I have always been a football fan first and foremost and like all fans I pretend to know everything there is to know! We often used to have football quizzes on the way to away games when I was at the club but sadly we didn`t have a book like this to refer too which meant there was too many arguments for my liking about who was right and wrong! Leicester City FC is a fantastic club and hopefully with the publication of this book it will answer all the questions and help you to look back on the glory days of old without the problems we had!
Enjoy the book!

I think the questions are great, some of them easy but also some that you
would have to dig deep in historical files or in past match programmes to
answer. We hope this quiz can help in the growth of support for Leicester
City and again get the nose into some great history and look up's of our
former great players and historical moments. Lots of fun for young and old foxes. You might also find some of the anwers in the quiz by exploring the TCF website at: http://www.norfox.net.

A fun read for me, just knowing where to begin was the only problem. I guess I came out above average but then the questions went back nearly as far as I do. Plenty of topics to stimulate debate at http://www.foxestalk.co.uk
