Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which 'fans favorite' did Peter Taylor sell to Wolves?

Answer: Dean Sturridge

Although Peter Taylor hardly ever played Sturridge he was Leicester's top scorer, so no wonder he was the fans favorite.

2. Name one of the 2 players who signed for Leicester at the start of the 2002-2003 season?

Answer: McKinlay

They played without a contract until half-way through the season, when they were given a contract until the end of the year, but Leicester couldn't afford to keep Summerbee at the end of the season.

3. Who took over as Full-Time Leicester Manager after Peter Taylor was sacked?

Answer: Dave 'Harry' Bassett

Dave Bassett took over with Micky Adams as the assistant manager, but things didn't go too well, and Bassett stepped down to Directer of Football, and Micky Adams took the full time job.

4. How many goals did transfer Ade Akinbyi record in his first full season at the club?

Answer: 7

5. In the 2002-2003 season, which goal was named Leicester's goal of the season?

Answer: Muzzy Izzett vs. Grimsby

Muzzy's goal was a spectacular overhead kick from just inside the penalty area. All the other goal's were Leicester's goal of the month. Dickov's in August, Stewart's in September, and Benjamin's in February.

6. Darren Eadie, a former England Under 21 played only 1 game between May 2000, and when he left the club in May 2003?

Answer: Tim Flowers

Tim Flowers was bought under Martin O'Neill in the 1999-2000 season, while Ian Walker was the first-choice keeper after Flowers, Keller was Leicester's No. 1 before Flowers, and Royce was Leicester's 2nd choice keeper in 2000-2001.

9. How many goals did top scorer Paul Dickov score, in Leicester's 2002-2003 promotion season?
