Leicester City Vintage 1970-72

EnglandOur second Leicester City Vintage post takes us to Filbert Street in the 70s and the early years of the Jimmy Bloomfield era. In 1969 the new manager had taken Leicester to an unhappy double of yet another unsuccessful FA Cup Final appearance combined with relegation to Division Two, but top flight exile would be short and Bloomfield and Leicester were back in Division One by 1971.

  1. Just to clarify, Frank O’Farrell was the manager at the time City were relegated to Division 2 and lost the FA Cup Final.
