Irresistible anecdotes, irrepressible characters, mindblowing stats and facts. Here's all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about Leicester City, coupled with a day-by-day diary of magical and memorable moments from the Foxes' rollercoaster history. Heard the one about the 0-12 drubbing at Forest after the players had attended 'Leggy' Turner's wedding? How about the goal that keeper Peter Shilton didn't know he'd scored? Or the 1974 team's funky single 'This Is the Season for Us'? Turn back the clock to 30 May 1994 when the Foxes finally won at Wembley at their seventh attempt. Revisit 10 August 1968, when City smashed the British transfer record, paying Fulham GBP150,000 for Allan Clarke. Or 23 August 1972, when Frank Worthington scored on his debut at Old Trafford. A brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any fan who holds the riches of blue-and-white history close to their heart.
