Steve Walsh Blog: DJ to Top the Charts…

It’s only pre-season but a 5-1 away win at Peterborough is still an impressive result. I’ve had a few concerns about where the goals are going to come from, but with DJ Campbell in such great form and Steve Howard and Andy King looking sharp, we should be ok. The likes of Matty Fryatt and Paul Gallagher will also make a contribution, but I would still like to see another couple of arrivals. We need another striker to add more cover and to give the manager more attacking options, but top centre forwards are hard to come by. Young Slovenian trialist, ...

John Coster Blog: To the Olympics… and beyond!

Tuesday marked the point where the London 2012 Games were exactly two years away. All very exciting stuff with the national papers producing colour pullouts of our prospective champions, including the Leicester Mercury. But did you know that Monday marked four years to the opening ceremony of Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games 2014? Two major sporting events on our tiny island in the space of two years. Perhaps I should look at making this my next goal and extending the blog for an additional 104 weeks! Walking past the BBC Big Screen, as I said in my first blog, acts as a constant ...

Dean Hodgkin Blog: Jump To It!

As creatures of habit, our workouts can sometimes suffer from our love of the comfort zone. If every time you go to the gym you do 20 minutes on the cross-trainer’s random programme or you regularly run the same route in your local park it might not just be your mind that becomes bored. If you repeatedly exercise in the same way, at the same intensity your muscles switch to auto pilot. Unfortunately, then, the principle of diminishing returns will apply and you end up getting fewer results from your efforts. By changing the type of exercise as well as the intensity, ...

Steve Walsh Blog: Currying Favour with the Gaffer

On the whole it’s been a decent start to pre-season for City and the lads will be pleased to have got minutes under their belt against Rotherham on Tuesday. Paul Gallagher and DJ Campbell, who made it three goals in three games, were on target and things were going well until the lights went out after 80 minutes. They probably could’ve carried on in the dark as the Leicester players would’ve still been able to pick each other out in those lemon coloured kits! City have played three games in quick succession since Paulo Sousa took over and the start of ...

Picture Special: A Great Day for a Great Cause

Leicester Legends met Nottingham Forest Legends at Quorn Football Club’s Farley Way Stadium yesterday afternoon in a special charity fixture to raise money for local charity Wishes4Kids. The day proved a great success as an estimated 1,700 crammed into the stadium to support the legends and, of course, the charity. Lining up for Leicester was former captain Steve Walsh, who organised the game, and Wishes4Kids Patron, Muzzy Izzet. Walshy and Muzzy were joined by the likes of Matt Elliott, Julian Joachim, Carl Muggleton and Gerry Taggart as a whole host of former City stars ensured an impressive line-up. The Forest team also looked ...

Steve Walsh Blog: Intrigued by the New Regime

After the success of the seven week series looking back on my former managers at Leicester City, it’s time to get back to the bread and butter of my weekly blog. What a few weeks it’s been for the club. Firstly, we were all surprised at Nigel Pearson’s departure and the speed at which the deal went through for him to join Hull City. Nigel did a fantastic job at the Walkers Stadium, but we’ve all got to move on and get right behind new boss, Paulo Sousa. The word that I’m getting from people around the club and people in ...
