Leicester City supporters?

[Sqad]

When i was about 14 years old I cycled from Peterborough to Leicester to see Leicester City v Arsenal. Peterborough were a non league side and the nearest 1st division side was Leicester City.

Arsenal had Swindon in goal and such famous names as Ronnie Rooke, Archie McCauley, Leslie Compton, Joe Mercer BUT, the guy that took my eye and i remember his performance today was a little, slightly built inside left called Jimmy Hennon.

Does anyone remember him?

I don't remember him Sqad, but I do remember some of the others you mention.

red....you are a star.

I have often wondered what happened to him.

He couldn't have weighed more than 10 stones.....slightly built.....but i will never forget the display that guy gave that day.

Where have all the "inside forwards" gone?

many thanks

They don't play like that anymore sqad mores the pity inside forwards and wingers, great stuff.

[Sqad]

tony...it all started when we won the world cup...Alf Ramsey picked Norman Hunter to play on the left wing in the next International match.......and that for me was the beginning of the end for wingers.

[redman41]

Inside forwards are now classed as Midfielders Sqad, not like the old formation of 5 Defenders and 5 forwards.
Football has changed so much
The big and powerful wealthy Clubs reign, to the detriment of the others.
Not much parity any more unfortunately

[tonyav]

Have to agree with both of you there.

'Alf Ramsey picked Norman Hunter to play on the left wing'???

With Geoff Hurst in goal and Jimmy Greaves at full back I guess?

[ichkeria]

'Arsenal had Swindon in goal'
Wasn't that cheating:-)

Peterborough to Leicester?

That's a hell of a cycle ride, about 40 miles or so.

I bet you couldn't do it now, Sqad.

[Sqad]

Hoppy......LOL......bloody long way and if i remember correctly it snowed on the way back.

I couldn't cycle 40 metres now.

Sqad, best inside forward I think I ever saw was Johnny Giles in THE Leeds team (Sprake, Reaney, Cooper, Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, Lorimer, Clarke, jones, Giles, Gray), but I am a little bit younger than your goodself

I used to deliver Jock Wallace's paper back in the day. That got me some kudos at school.
