Match: Leicester City v Crystal Palace 27th May 1996


As a Leicester fan, it doesn't get much better than when we played Crystal Palace at the old Wembley for a place in the Premier League. We had a rough ride getting there, with managerial changes, unrest, but then it clicked with Muzzy Izzet arriving. We were at one a piece in extra time and Martin wanted to bring the tallest goalkeeper in the world on. He just managed to get him on in the very last minute when we got a free kick.
From the free kick, Steve Claridge managed to find energy to blast the ball from outside the box and the ball went in. We all stood there in disbelief for what seemed like an eternity before actually realising we had scored. One of the best days ever being a Leicester fan. The players went up to receive their medals, this being one of them.
