Answer: 1884

3. Which ex-Leicester City player scored a penalty for Blackburn Rovers in the 1991-92 Division 2 playoff final?

4. In 1992-93, LCFC reached the playoff final for the second year running. But against which team did they lose 4-3 in an exciting but heartbreaking final?

Answer: Swindon Town

Glenn Hoddle's Swindon Town went 3-0 up in City's 2nd successive final, but the LCFC fans were terrific, staying behind their team and inspiring them to comeback and draw level at 3-3. However, City were to lose at Wembley for a second year running.

Answer: Steve Walsh

Steve Walsh, centre-back-turned-striker, ensured his place in the Leicester City Hall of Fame with his famous double vs. Derby, and will always be remembered, "Here, There and Everywhere" (title of his autobiography).

6. LCFC were relegated in 1994-95. How many seasons did it take LCFC to get promoted back to the top division of English Football?

Answer: 1

Leicester City gained promotion the season after relegation, despite not one but two managers leaving the club. Despite this, Martin O'Neill turned a disastrous season around by beating Crystal palace in the 1995-96 Division 1 playoff finals.

7. In the 1996-97 season, LCFC not only managed to remain in the Premiership, but also succeeded in winning a major trophy. Which trophy was it?

Answer: Middlesborough

Middlesborough was battling relegation at the time, with manager Bryan Robson under intense pressure to succeed. However, Boro lost the game, their Premiership status, and Robson lost his job.

Answer: Micky Adams

Micky Adams managed the club through their period of administration, which ended when former LCFC legend Gary Lineker headed a consortium bid to rescue the club. Adams made some shrewd signings and some not so popular, but was generally regarded as a competent manager for the Foxes, despite being in charge when they were relegated during their period of administration.

10. Which important accolade/record did LCFC finally lose at the end of the 2007-08 season?

Answer: They had never previously fallen below the top two divisions

Following a traumatic, rollercoaster season, Leicester City, managed by Ian Holloway, were relegated on the last day of the 2007-08 season, destroying their proud record of never having been outside of the top two divisions, which very few clubs can boast.
