The Legacy

Alan Smith departed for Arsenal in 1987, leaving a gap in the Leicester City attack after a difficult Division One campaign. Gary McAllister continued to influence the midfield alongside Ali Mauchlen, despite the side struggling to pick up results throughout the year. Admiral supplied this home shirt, which featured the John Joule sponsorship branding across the front. The team finished 20th in the table and faced relegation. These players remained central figures in the side before the club transitioned into the second tier.

Key Moment

Leicester City were relegated from the First Division in 1986-87, finishing 20th, with leading scorer Alan Smith leaving for Arsenal that summer.
