When did you first support LCFC: I went to my first match in 1970 after losing the "69" cup final and receiving a "city" scarf as a Christmas present

Our 15/16 Season

At what stage did you think we would win the league: Probably with about 6 games to go. 

Where were you when the  final whistle went at the Chelsea v Spurs game and how did you feel: In a pub in town. I felt lost for words and privileged to be a LEICESTER CITY fan.

Where were you when we were presented with the trophy and how did you feel: At the ground in my usual seat. I felt in a dream…I never thought I would see "MY" team win the premier league.

How has Leicester winning the league changed the perception of the club: I'm not sure if people think we are no longer a small club, but it has made other smaller clubs believe that they too COULD win the title. 

Has it made a difference to you personally: I had the privilege of meeting Riyad Mahrez when he brought the trophy to a school I work in. It is a day I will NEVER forget.

Any other comments in relation to that incredible season: It more than made up for all the years of disappointment and heartache of being a LEICESTER CITY FAN.
