filbert street
leicester city
Saturday 31st October 1987 was my first of many visits to Filbert Street in the letterbox view stand, perhaps one of the worst grounds for viewing games I have been to, Got even worse when seats were put in place. Leicester played Blackburn in a Barclays Second Division game, I was quite fortunate to see Blackburn win a game at Filbert Street, they were hard to come by, usually Leicester ended up pasting Rovers. On this visit though, Rovers managed to grab a win, Moran scored Leicesters goal , Garner and Hendry claiming the winning goals for Blackburn.
