The Legacy

Steve Walsh captained Leicester City to a ninth-place Premier League finish in 1996-1997. Martin O'Neill balanced a direct style with the creative instincts of Muzzy Izzet in midfield and the relentless work rate of Neil Lennon. Emile Heskey started to establish himself as a regular threat up front during this time. The side secured a League Cup victory against Middlesbrough, earning a spot in the UEFA Cup. Walkers remained the front sponsor throughout the year, with the club producing its own garments in-house for the first team.

Key Moment
