Formation
Formed, initially as Leicester Fosse, in 1884 by the members of a bible class at the now-demolished Emanuel Chapel on New Park Street, the Club was naturally quite different in its formative years.
Leicester Fosse's first-ever match, featuring a team with an average age of 16, was a 5-0 victory over Syston Fosse and included a shirt which would return to prominence 119 years later. Unfortunately, despite the wealth of material in the Club's archives, there are no colour pictures of the kits which Leicester Fosse adorned in the years between 1884 and 1886.
Founding and early years (1884–1949) Formed in 1884 by a group of old boys of Wyggeston School as "Leicester Fosse", the club joined The Football Association (FA) in 1890. Before moving to Filbert Street in 1891, the club played at five different grounds, including Victoria Park south-east of the city centre and the Belgrave Road Cycle and Cricket Ground.
The club also joined the Midland League in 1891, and were elected to Division Two of the Football League in 1894 after finishing second.Leicester's first ever Football League game was a 4–3 defeat at Grimsby Town, with a first League win the following week, against Rotherham United at Filbert Street. The same season also saw the club's largest win to date, a 13–0 victory over Notts Olympic in an FA Cup qualifying game. In 1907–08 the club finished as Second Division runners-up, gaining promotion to the First Division, the highest level of English football. However, the club were relegated after a single season which included the club's record defeat, a 12–0 loss against Nottingham Forest. In 1919, when League football resumed after World War I, Leicester Fosse ceased trading due to financial difficulties of which little is known.
Filbert Street 1891-2001
By the time football began to get back in order, the Club was in a dire financial situation and, in the same year which Leicester regained city status, the Club was registered as Leicester City Football Club in 1919. Their inaugural season as 'City' saw the team run out with blue and white vertical stripes across the home shirt, alongside white shorts and blue socks, but this design would remain for just three years.
The club was reformed as "Leicester City Football Club", particularly appropriate as the borough of Leicester had recently been given city status. Following the name change, the club enjoyed moderate success in the 1920s; under the management of Peter Hodge, who left in May 1926 to be replaced two months later byWillie Orr, and with record goalscorer Arthur Chandler in the side, they won the Division Two title in 1924–25 and recorded their second-highest league finish in 1928–29 as runners-up by a single point to The Wednesday. However the 1930s saw a downturn in fortunes, with the club relegated in 1934–35 and, after promotion in 1936–37, another relegation in 1938–39 would see them finish the decade in Division Two.
Thus, finally, after 38 years of existence, Leicester City returned to the blue and white kits which remain
in place in the present day, later finishing within one point of winning the top title in 1929.
The first season that a crest appeared on a City shirt was 1948/49, although there had been the occasional use of the Leicester Town badge in their Midland League days in the early 1890s.
This is the first shirt design to feature a fox’s head. It was also the only season that the head was red. It was worn for the FA Cup Final in 1949. This was the beginning of the development of the Foxes brand for the Club.
In (1949–1958) City reached the FA Cup final for the first time in their history in 1949, losing 3–1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The club, however, was celebrating a week later when a draw on the last day of the season ensured survival in Division Two. The 1950–51 season saw the signing of one of Leicester's greatest ever strikers, Arthur Rowley, from Fulham, who would become the club's top scorer in eight consecutive seasons. Rowley equalled Arthur Chandler's then club record of 38 goals in one season in the 1951–52 season, then broke it the following season, scoring 41 times. Thirty-nine of these came in the league where he won the Second division golden boot for the first time. Leicester won the Division Two championship in 1954 as Rowley netted 36 more.
Although a woeful defensive record, conceding 86 goals saw them relegated straight back down from Division One the next season, they returned two years later in 1957, with Rowley breaking his own club record and scoring 44 goals in one season (this remains the club record still today) claiming the Second Division top scorer accolade once again.
Although Leicester survived in their first season back in the First Division, Rowley was sensationally sold, just seven goals shy of Arthur Chandler's all-time record as the club's top goalscorer, to Shrewsbury Town at the end of 1957–58 season. The decision to sell him led to fan unrest and ultimately the sacking of David Halliday in November 1958.

Matt Gillies 1958-1968
Matt Gillies (1958–1968) Former player Matt Gillies took over from Halliday with the Foxes lying in the relegation zone of the First Division and would go on to become arguably the club's most successful ever manager. Gillies became well known for his ability to spot a good player during his time at Filbert Street bringing through the ranks future FWA Footballer of the Year winners Gordon Banks and Frank McLintock and future PFA Player of the Year Peter Shilton, as well as club favourites Dave Gibson, Lenny Glover and Graham Cross. Leicester reached the FA Cup final twice under the stewardship of Gillies in 1961 and 1963. In 1961, they were on the losing side to double winners Tottenham, and as a result were England's representatives in the 1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup in which Leicester were knocked out by eventual winners Atlético Madrid in the first round. In 1963, Leicester chased the double. The coldest winter for decades meant Leicester were forced to play a backlogged fixture list on ice, then went on a then club-record 18-game unbeaten culminating in the club sitting atop the First Division on 16 April 1963, causing the press to label Leicester as the "ice kings". However, injuries (possibly feigned in light of the upcoming FA Cup final) eventually took their toll and Leicester took just one point from their final five games, seeing them fall to fourth position, though this was still the club's best post-war finish up until the 2015–16 season, where Leicester won the Premier League. They then lost the 1963 cup final 3–1 to Matt Busby's Manchester United.

Gillies finally won silverware though in 1964. Leicester beat Stoke City 4–3 on aggregate to win the League Cup for the first time. Leicester also reached the League Cup final the following year, losing to Chelsea. In 1966, one of the club's most famous players, Gordon Banks, who played for eight years at Leicester, represented England at the FIFA World Cup, where he helped England become world champions and was also nominated for the Ballon d'Or, for European Football of the Year, still to this date, the only Leicester player to be nominated for that award. Leicester toured Zambia in the summer of 1968 only four years after Zambian independence, playing six games and winning them all, including three games against the Zambian national team and three games against representative XI sides. City's visit was described as "probably the greatest occasion in the history of association football in Zambia" by Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda. After a bad start to the season and a bout of illness, Matt Gillies resigned in November 1968.
His successor, Frank O'Farrell, was unable to prevent relegation, but the club reached the 1969 FA Cup Final for the final time to date, losing to Manchester City 1–0. Their relegation in 1969 ended a twelve-year stint in the top flight, the club's longest to date.
Jimmy Bloomfield (1971–1977) In 1971, Leicester were promoted to Division One, and won the Charity Shield for the first and only time against Liverpool. Unusually, due to Division One champions Arsenal's commitments in European competition, Division Two winners Leicester were invited to play FA Cup winners Liverpool, beating them 1–0. Jimmy Bloomfield was appointed for the new season, and his team remained in the First Division for his tenure.
1972 was the only season that City played in an all white strip.
It included popular players such as Keith Weller, Frank Worthington and Alan Birchenall, who continues to play a role at the club today, particularly well known for presenting half-time entertainment. Leicester reached the FA Cup semi-final in 1974. No period since Bloomfield has seen the club remain in the top division for so long. Up and down (1978–1991) Charity Shield was a football match between Leicester City and Liverpool at Filbert Street on Saturday 7 August 1971. Steve Witworth scored in the 15th minute
Charity Shield (City beat Liverpool 1:0 Witworth)
City’s line-up on the day was as follows: Shilton, Whitworth, Nish, Kellard, Sjoberg, Cross, Farrington, Brown, Fern, Sammels, Glover.
Frank McLintock, a noted player for seven years for Leicester successful period from the late Fifties to the mid Sixties, succeeded Jimmy Bloomfield in 1977. Due to City's relegation in at the end of the 1977–78 season and McClintock's subsequent resignation, he is regarded as one of Leicester's worst managers.
Jock Wallace resumed the tradition of successful Scottish managers (after Peter Hodge and Matt Gillies) by steering Leicester to the Division Two championship in 1980. Unfortunately, Wallace was not able to keep Leicester in Division One, but they reached the FA Cup semi-final for the last time to date in 1982.

Under Wallace, one of City's most famous homegrown players, Gary Lineker, emerged into the first team squad. Leicester's next manager was Gordon Milne, who achieved promotion in 1983. Lineker helped Leicester maintain their place in the First Division but was sold to Everton in 1985 and two years later Leicester went down, having failed to find a suitable replacement. Milne had left in 1986 and was replaced by in 1987 David Pleat, who oversaw one of the club's most unsuccessful periods in its history. He was sacked in January 1991 after a defeat that left City fourth from bottom. Gordon Lee was put in charge of the club until the end of the season. Leicester won their final game of the season which guided them clear of relegation to the third tier of the football league. The play-off battle (1991–1994) Brian Little, who had just taken Darlington from the Conference to the Third Division with successive promotions, was given the manager's job at Leicester and in his first season they qualified for the promotion playoffs. Leicester beat Cambridge United 6–1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, but lost out on a place in the new Premier League after a 1–0 defeat in the playoff final to Blackburn Rovers – the only goal of the game was scored by Blackburn's Mike Newell, a former Leicester player. The goal, a penalty, came after a much disputed foul by Steve Walsh on David Speedie. Speedie became the subject of much hatred amongst Leicester City supporters, but signed for the club a year later.
Leicester suffered another playoff final defeat at the end of the 1992–93 Division One campaign. They managed to draw level with Swindon in the second half after trailing 3–0, only to concede another controversial penalty.
1993–1994 it was third time lucky for Leicester as they beat East Midlands rivals Derby County 2–1 in the final to secure promotion to the Premiership after seven years outside the top division. Striker David Speedie was suspended in the final, having been sent off in the semi-final. Relegation and promotion (1994–1996)

In Brian Little quit 22nd November as Leicester manager the following November to take charge at Aston Villa, and his successor was Kevin McDonald till 14 December then Mark McGhee took over City
Mark McGhee, was unable to save Leicester from finishing second from bottom in the 1994–95 Premiership campaign with just six wins from 42 league games. Leicester were flying high at the top of Division One when McGhee left the club unexpectedly in December 1995 to take charge at Wolverhampton Wanderers. McGhee was replaced by Martin O'Neill

Martin O'Neill, who prior to his brief six-month spell as Norwich City manager had taken Wycombe Wanderers from the Conference to Division Two with two successive promotions. Under O'Neill, Leicester qualified for the 1995–96 Division One promotion playoffs and beat Crystal Palace 2–1 with a last-gasp Steve Claridge goal which secured an immediate return to the Premiership. O'Neill was recognised for both his ability in the transfer market, signing players like Neil Lennon, Muzzy Izzet, Tony Cottee and Matt Elliott, and the performances he elicited from the team. Success in the top flight (1996–2000)
1997 Shirt
Leicester established themselves in the Premiership with four successive top ten finishes. O'Neill was the first manager to win silverware for 26 years, winning the League Cup twice, in 1997 and 2000, and Leicester were runners-up in 1999.
In 1997 I flew from Perth, Western Australia to London leaving Thursday arriving 4 am Saturday in London via Singapore, I stayed at the Wembley Hotel and walked to the stadium after a pub lunch and took a tour of Wembley on Saturday afternoon, on Sunday I met my mate John Walsh who had got me a ticket and watched City v's Middlesborough draw 1:1 (Heskey) at Wembley, I flew home on Monday arriving in Perth in time on Tuesday to return to work. Great weekend though.
This meant qualification for the UEFA Cup in 1997–98 and 2000–01, the club's first qualification for Europe since they played in the 1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup. O'Neill became a sought-after manager, turning down Leeds United in 1999, but in June 2000 he was lured to Celtic. He is regarded today as one of the most successful managers in the club's history. In April 2000, the club received a record £11 million from Liverpool for striker Emile Heskey. Downfall and fightback (2000–2004) Martin O'Neill was replaced by the former England under-21 national team coach
Peter Taylor. For most of 2000–01, Leicester looked set to qualify for European competition, even topping the Premiership table for two weeks in October. (The Frozen Champions)
2000
However, they were then knocked out of the FA Cup quarter finals by Division Two side Wycombe, followed by nine defeats from their final ten Premiership fixtures which saw them slip to 13th in the table. A poor start to 2001–02 (a 5–0 defeat at home to newly promoted Bolton Wanderers) saw Taylor sacked after two months and replaced byDavid Bassett, who was unable to stop Leicester's season from going from bad to worse. In his 15 months at the club, Peter Taylor spent £23 million on transfer fees alone, by far the most of any Leicester manager. Particularly notorious was the club record fee of £5 million for Ade Akinbiyi, who scored 11 goals in 58 league appearances, and Dennis Wise, £1.6 million for a 34-year-old who was later sacked for assaulting a teammate. Some also blame former chairman John Elsom for his poor handling of the club's finances. Just before relegation was confirmed, Bassett resigned to become director of football, to make way for his assistant Micky Adams, who had quit the manager's job at Brighton & Hove Albion six months earlier to become Bassett's assistant. Leicester's last game of the 2001–02 season was also their last at Filbert Street, beating Tottenham 2–1 to secure only their fifth Premiership win of the season.
League Cup Final 2000, v's Tranmere Rovers
Life in the Championship (2004–2008) Adams resigned as manager in October 2004 and Dave Bassett began a second (albeit temporary) spell as manager assisted by former FA technical director Howard Wilkinson. The pair remained in charge at Leicester until Craig Levein was appointed Leicester City boss on Friday 29 October 2004, who had previously been manager of Hearts. Levein was unable to attain anything higher than a 15th-place finish in the final table, Leicester's lowest in 14 years. Their dismal form continued into the 2005–06 season, which saw some fans call for Levein's resignation as the team were near the bottom of the table after ten matches, and fell into the relegation zone in January, ultimately leading to his sacking on 25 January 2006, despite a 3–2 FA Cup win over Premiership club Tottenham just 17 days earlier. After winning three out of four games as caretaker manager and moving the club five places up the league, Rob Kelly was appointed to see out the rest of the season. Kelly steered Leicester to safety and in April 2006 was given the manager's job on a permanent basis. Jim McCahill retired as chairman on 1 June 2006 and was replaced by Andrew Taylor.
The club was bought from the existing 55 shareholders by Milan Mandarić in February 2007
By this stage, they were mid-table in the Championship, too low to mount a promotion challenge but seemingly comfortably clear of relegation. A run of eight games without a win, however, plunged the club back to the fringes of the relegation battle, prompting Mandarić to sack Kelly on 11 April 2007.
Nigel Worthington was appointed caretaker manager of relegation threatened Championship club Leicester City for the rest of 2006–07 on 11 April 2007 for the remaining five games of the season, and under his management, a final position of 19th was achieved. Despite losing his first match to former club Norwich, he was able to steer Leicester to safety and stated his desire to become Leicester's permanent manager.
Adams guided Leicester to runners-up spot in Division One and automatic promotion back to the Premiership with more than 90 points. In reaction to Leicester's restructuring of their debts, the Football League changed their rules and now penalise teams going into administration with a ten-point penalty. There was some bitterness from other clubs over this point, and because Leicester retained some good players from the Premiership (although several were sold). In an interview in mid-2006, chairman Andrew Taylor stated debt was about £25 million, including a "mortgage" of £15–18 million on the Walkers Stadium to the company (not the club) that owns it. Leicester were relegated from the Premiership in 2003–04 with 33 points, along with Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers
Martin Allen was given a three-year contract to be the new permanent manager. His relationship with Milan Mandarić, however, deteriorated rapidly, and he left the club on mutual consent in August after just three months at the helm. Jon Rudkin, Steve Beaglehole and Mike Stowell took over as caretaker managers until 13 September, when Gary Megson was installed as their new permanent manager But the managerial story took another twist when he walked out on 24 October to take over from the sacked Sammy Lee at Bolton. Frank Burrows and Gerry Taggart temporarily took charge until Ian Holloway was appointed as Leicester's third permanent manager of the season on 22 October, after resigning from Plymouth Argyle. Relegation to League One and return to the Championship (2008–2014) Leicester celebrate their promotion as champions of League One with a win at Southend. On 4 May 2008, Leicester City's 0–0 draw with Stoke City was not enough to save the club from relegation due to other results going against them. This means that Leicester played in League One during the 2008–09 season, the first time that Leicester had played in the third tier of English football. Ian Holloway was sacked and replaced by Nigel Pearson, who led Leicester straight to the League One title, leading the division for much of the season, also going a club record 23 league games unbeaten. They clinched their return to the Championship with three games remaining in the season, defeating Southend United 2–0 on 18 April 2009. Matty Fryatt also netted 32 times this season, becoming the first Leicester player to score over 30 goals in one season since the legendary Arthur Rowley did so 52 years previously.
Leicester moved into the new 32,000-seat Walkers Stadium at the start of the 2002–03 season. Walkers, the crisp manufacturers, the club's former shirt sponsors acquired the naming rights for a ten-year period. In October 2002, the club went into administration with debts of £30 million. Some of the reasons were the loss of TV money (ITV Digital, itself in administration, had promised money to First Division clubs for TV rights), the large wage bill, lower than expected fees for players transferred to other clubs and the £37 million cost of the new stadium. Adams was banned from the transfer market for most of the season, even after the club was rescued by a takeover in February 2003 by a consortium led by Gary Lineker.
The Power of Leicester
In 2010, the Club was taken over by a Thai-led consortium called Asian Football Investments, which was fronted by King Power’s Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who became Chairman in 2011. His son Khun Aiyawatt Srivaddhanapraba is one of two Vice-Chairmen. The Srivaddhanaprabha family are now sole owners of the Club. The new owners invested heavily in Leicester City Football Club.
The Stadium was renamed King Power Stadium in 2011 after the take-over of Thai-based duty free company King Power.

Leicester's first season back in the Championship was again a successful one under the stewardship of Pearson. Pearson showed his ambition at the beginning of the season by announcing his team would not just settle for consolidation and would be aiming straight for the play-offs. His ambitions proved to be warranted as the Foxes finished fifth in their first season back in the second tier and making the play-offs for the fifth time. They played Cardiff City in the semi-final and showed a fighting spirit to come from two goals down on aggregate to lead brief 3–2, though they ultimately lost via a penalty shoot-out. In the summer of 2010, however, Pearson left the club to become manager of Hull City.
Pearson was replaced by Paulo Sousa, who was sacked after just nine league games after a poor start and questions about player fitness and morale had left Leicester bottom of the league. On 3 October 2010, former England, Lazio and Benfica manager Sven-Göran Eriksson was announced as his replacement.
Sven-Göran Eriksson guided the club to an eventual tenth-place finish. Leicester were favourites for promotion in the 2011–12 season, but on 24 October 2011, following an inconsistent start with the Foxes winning just 5 out of the first 13 games, Eriksson left the club by mutual consent. Three weeks later, on 15 November 2011,
Nigel Pearson was confirmed to be returning to the club as Eriksson's successor. In the 2012–13 season, Leicester struggled with play-off heartbreak as Anthony Knockaert had a 97th-minute penalty saved and Watford's Troy Deeney scored immediately at the other end to leave City in the Championship.

2013-14 - After an extremely successful 2013–14 season, Leicester finished first in the Championship with 102 points, securing automatic promotion for the 2014–15 Premier League.
The Championship - Champions odds $5000:1
In the return to the Premier League (2014–15) Leicester started their first season back in the Premier League with two draws in their first three games, then claimed their first Premier League win since May 2014 with a 1–0 win against Stoke. They went on to beat Manchester United 5–3, coming back from 3–1 down, to move into seventh place in the table, five places ahead of Louis van Gaal's United. By March, however, a dismal run of form had seen the team fall to last place with only 19 points (seven fewer than the 19th-placed team) from 29 games, but a change of fortunes meant that they finished the season in 14th place with a 5–1 victory over relegated Queens Park Rangers on the last day of the season.
They thus completed, mathematically, the best escape from relegation ever seen in the Premier League as no team had previously had less than 20 points from 29 games and stayed up. Despite his success, Pearson was sacked in June 2015 after a breakdown in his relationship with the club's owners.

2015-16 Pearson was replaced by former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri. Starting the 2015–16 season as relegation candidates, and quoted by William Hill at 5,000–1, Leicester improbably went on to win the title in one of the most extraordinary seasons in English football. Under Ranieri, the team made a flying start to the season, losing only one game in their first 15 and topping the table in December ahead of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. Champions of England playing a style that caught out many sides back from full back to midfield, Drinkwater or Kante chip over the defending team defenders for Mahrez or Vardy to sprint on to.
Striker Jamie Vardy, who four years previously had been playing non-league football at Fleetwood Town, scored in 11-straight Premier League matches, beating the record of ten set by Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2003. Having been bottom of the table at Christmas 2014, Leicester were top at Christmas 2015. Their form continued into 2016, and in February they beat second-placed Manchester City 3–1 away to go six points clear. For the remainder of the season, Leicester's main title rivals were Tottenham, and they clinched their first ever Premier League title, with two games to spare, on the weekend of 1–2 May when they drew 1–1 with Manchester United and Tottenham drew 2–2 with Chelsea. They also qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

FA Cup highlights: Leicester City 3-1 Man Utd – Tielemans runs the show again Ollie Irish 22nd, March 2021 Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as his side knocked a sloppy Manchester United out of the FA Cup. A terrible backpass from Fred was the catalyst for Leicester’s win. Iheanacho collected the pass and rounded United keeper Dean Henderson to open the scoring in the 24th minute. Mason Greenwood made it 1-1 with a typically ruthless finish from a Paul Pogba cross, before Youri Tielemans fired a low shot into the bottom corner. Tielemans is having a superb season. United’s soft defence was exposed again in the 78th minute as Iheanacho was left unmarked at the far post to head home Marc Albrighton’s free-kick, sending his side into a semi-final clash with Southampton. City beat Southampton 1:0 in the semi-final
The 2021 FA Cup final was an association football match played between Chelsea and Leicester City at Wembley Stadium, London, England on 15 May 2021. Organised by the Football Association (FA), it was the 140th final of the Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup) and the showpiece match of English football's primary cup competition. The match was among the first football events where the return of large crowds was piloted after the COVID-19 pandemic in England, with an official attendance of 20,000 after the previous year's final was held behind closed doors. The match was televised live in the United Kingdom on free-to-air channel BBC One and on pay TV channel BT Sport 1. In the UK, live radio coverage was provided by BBC Radio 5 Live, Talksport and local stations BBC Radio London and BBC Radio Leicester. The match was watched by more than 9 million people in the United Kingdom.
Michael Oliver was the referee. After a goalless first half, Youri Tielemans scored midway through the second half with a strike from distance which flew into the top-left corner of Chelsea's goal past Kepa Arrizabalaga. In the final minute of regular time, Thiago Silva passed to Ben Chilwell, who shot; Çağlar Söyüncü cleared Chilwell's shot off the line but it deflected back off Wes Morgan and into the Leicester City net. The goal was referred to the video assistant referee, who deemed Chilwell was offsidein the build-up; the goal was disallowed and the match ended 1–0 to Leicester City who won the first FA Cup title in their history. Tielemans was named as man of the match. As winners, Leicester City entered the group stage of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League. They also faced 2020–21 Premier League champions Manchester City in the 2021 FA Community Shield.

In April 2023 Brendan Rogers was Sacked, with City lying close to relegation Dean Smith and Craig Shakespeare could not save City and we were relegated to the Championship.
Season 2023-4 A new manager, Enzo Maresca was appointed in 2023 and brought a new style of play completely in contrast to the way City play. The back four played the ball around giving the opposition time to organise a defence but fortunately playing against less skilled opponents we were able to win our early games and move to a very strong position by Christmas. However as teams got used to our style we started to lose games and struggled to maintain the league leadership, but eventually we prevailed to win the Championship as Champions and went straight back to the Premier League.
In blue and white, Leicester City have won the Premier League, the second tier title a record seven times, lifted one FA Cup, won the League Cup three times, and competed in six European campaigns, most notably in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League, when the Club reached the quarter-finals.
