Pre Match Liverpool v Leicester

[Jeff]

Saturday, 3PM.

They've won 16 games in a row in the league.

They were on a run of 85 unbeaten home games when Jock Wallace's struggling team went there and won 2-1 in 1981. Pat Byrne and Jim Melrose got the goals. Alan Young scored an OG. We were relegated at the end of the season.

We were the first team in eons to do the double over them that year

 

[Orifice]

I will never forget that game.
I locked myself away, tidying my bedroom, to avoid any updates on the match.
Could not believe my Dad when he told me the score at the end.

 

[Brown Nose]

There was an away match at Anfield in the early 80s. Night game. We fought back to 2-2 or 3-3?

Radio Leicester didn't do commentaries in those days, they just had someone doing occasional updates.

Every time I hear Hello by Lionel Richie, I can instantly transport myself back to punching the air and going nuts when they interrupted the song to report on our equaliser.

When a song was faded down part way through you knew it was a goal for one side.

Results at Anfield were memorable.

I was there and not been since. Got my ticket for Saturday and who knows history repeating itself? Not the relegation though.

 

[Miles Away]

Remember when Alan Young was on radio Leicester?

Jesus.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Another great test. You have to match them for effort at the very least. We didn't do that against Man U and that was disappointing.

They've won 16 games in a row in the league.

I've said this before (several times) and I am going to say it again. Only one club has ever won three successive league games away at Liverpool. And that club have done it twice!

Name that club.

We were the first team in eons to do the double over them that year

I remember it well!

 

[bocadillo]

Melchester Rovers?

OK. Them as well... probably.

 

[pork pie fox]

OK. Them as well... probably.

I've no idea if they did really.

Nor me. Somebody will know though.

 

[homer]

Nor me. Somebody will know though.

I’ll give Blackie Gray a ring - he’ll know

 

[Robin127]

I think Lofty Peak got the winner.

I do not think Perez has played well yet would prefer Albrighton for this one.
