Standing on the bollard in the middle of the mini roundabout at the top of Kingshill.  After the bus had passed, we went down the hill in to the town centre with everyone else.

I was living in Northants at the time, so I didn't get to the celebrations.

Driving home from Wembley on the M40, taking the piss out of all the Leicester fans was fun though :D

Blimey is it really 15 years ago ?

I saw them out on Queens Drive and then followed the bus up to the Civic Offices

Those where the days, look how many of that group have gone on to do something....

Hoddle  - Manager
Gorman - Manager
Calderwood - Manager
Taylor - Ass Manager  / coach - non league
Mitchell - Manager - Australia
White - Manager - Non league
Ling - Manager
Bodin - Coach

Anyone else still involved in the game ?

Isn't Hazard a taxi driver now ?

Until recently Micky Hazard worked with Crystal Palace youths. He brought through this John Bostock lad that is about to move to Spurs.

 I read about this... Bostock snr made a point of praising  Hazard when thanking Palace for developing his son, so that his family could collect a vast wedge of cash on the back of their efforts.   He mentioned that Hazard had encouraged the boy to play with freedom.  I'd like to think Zippy would take a similar approach.
