Was that when Dowie was manager ? As I recall being there for that game.I too can remember that one. He was awesome. Another is Gareth bale as a kid running the game at full back for Southampton against us.
I'm sure Kevin Kyle scored in that game !I think it might have been Dowie's first game in charge potentially. We won but Bale's performance stands out for me too.
Also Ryan Giggs tore us apart in the late 90's early 2000's. That said, it was Barry Quinn at full back!
I too was at that Leicester game it was League Cup. Was that Santos from Brazil ?The players that stand out in my mind were George Best and Jimmy Greaves, but not against us. During the Jimmy Hill years when we were a high-flying club, we played a friendly against a team from Brazil. I don't remember the name of the team, but they were so much better than us it was like they were playing a different game. Their skills were amazing and their passing so quick and accurate that the CCFC players heads must have been spinning. Don't remember the score, but I'm sure it was a convincing defeat.
Also, I was at the match where Leicester beat us 1-8 at home. They tore us to shreds. For us, George Hudson scored past Gordon Banks. Teams and scorers here:

How about George Boateng vs Villa when we battered them 4-1?
I think it might have been Santos or America. I did some digging and on the Santos Wikipedia site, it indicates a score of 2-2, but that was a game played on 13 June 1972 when Pele played (and scored). The game I remember was a different match because it was in the mid 60's. I'm sure my father had the match program, but my mother sold them all some time after he died.I too was at that Leicester game it was League Cup. Was that Santos from Brazil ?
