FOREWORD

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, the likely destinations being Orient, Southend or Colchester. Never in my wildest dreams, though, did I think that I would return to the Premiership, but when Steve Walford, an old teammate 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 three 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 a full six months to get fit and convince the manager that 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 experience 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.

My career lasted 20 years, but I can honestly say that my three-year spell at Leicester was my happiest time 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 two things. I was very lucky to have played with the likes of Lennon, Izzet, Walsh and many more outstanding players. We created a successful period for the club that 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 it 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 seven years later, my feelings for the club haven’t diminished; in fact, they have grown 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 to, which meant there were too many arguments for my liking about who was right and who was wrong! Leicester City FC is a fantastic club and hopefully this book 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!

Tony Cottee

INTRODUCTION ByChrisCowlin

I would first of all like to thank Leicester City and footballing legend Tony Cottee for writing the foreword to this book. I have also been a great fan of Tony’s and have watched him many times, so it was a true honour when he agreed to write a few words. I am honoured to be able to donate £1 from each book sale to 'The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK’. This charity raises money for research into bowel cancer in memory of footballer Bobby Moore. I hope you enjoy this book. It was a true pleasure compiling it as well as working with Adam Pearson who has written quiz books on Southampton, England and the World Cup. I am sure that whatever section you choose to read first it will make you smile and the memories will come flooding back! In closing, I would like to thank all my friends and family for encouraging me to complete this project.

Best wishes Chris Cowlin
