So who started the wave ? We all know Brian Little did ! Join host Phil as he chats with former Leicester City manager Brian Little in this weeks Foxes Tales Show, where we chat with ex players and managers from our club. What questions would YOU like to ask Brian tonight ?

Unfortunately Tom could not bring you his regular interview in The Foxes Tale this week, so Phil stepped in this week and had a chat with Brian about his time at Leicester…!

He was with us from 1991-94 and we all had some good memories and moments with him as a Leicester boss, what is your best memory of him at Leicester?
Which is your best game that you remember with him in charge?

Did you know…??

By this time, bigger clubs were taking an interest in the 37-year-old Little and in June 1991 Leicester City appointed Little as their replacement for Gordon Lee. The Foxes had just avoided relegation to the Third Division for the first time in their history and Little was seen as the right man to turn the club’s fortunes around.

At the end of 1991–92, Leicester came fourth in the Second Division and qualified for the promotion playoffs, the winners securing a place in the new Premier League. They overcame Cambridge United in the semi-finals and were drawn with Blackburn Rovers in the final. But their promotion hopes were dashed when Blackburn striker Mike Newell, a former Leicester player, scored a penalty which took the Lancashire side into the new league. At the end of the 1992–93 season, Leicester qualified for the playoffs again in the new Division One. They overcame Portsmouth in the semi-finals but in the final were 3–0 down shortly after half-time to Swindon Town. They fought back to bring the scoreline to 3–3, however Swindon scored a controversial late fourth goal from the penalty spot to progress to the Premier League.
