Match of the Day's new opening titles for their FA Cup highlights show.

How many Leicester references can you spot?



Here's the ones I found. Tell me if I've missed anything:

Surely all TV games in the 70s were broadcast in colour although of course not everyone had colour sets.

Well interestingly if I remember correctly until end of 1971 programmes were a mixture of both colour and b/w including sport. I’m happy to be corrected but that photo looks like it’s from the 60’s to me

In that case then Crossy wore the 6 shirt but it doesn't look like him?

From a Barnsley free-kick as well.
I've chatted to him about that goal, several times.
He never wanted to leave Leicester City...

I know someone that used to organise the Leicester Legends games and knew most of the players from JJ's era.
Apparently he liked a bet.
My mate said he would think nothing of blowing several thousands in an afternoon at the bookies.
Yet if he only had £100 or so left when it got to the last race and then doubled his money he would walk out happy despite losing thousands.
 
Crossy never had hair that long and neither did any other City player in the 60s. There is a resemblance to Birchy but I don't remember him wearing No.6 and why would he be in a BBC FA Cup montage? Which game would that be?

Well it could be the Leatherhead game but that was 75 by which time everything was in not just colour but technicolour! So who knows? Is it definitely one of ours?

That is the question he says puffing on an appropriately named cigar.

That's Peter McGillicuddy of Leatherhead. Graham Cross is in the darker shirt to the right. I'd love to know what that guy's chant was. Probably the old scout song - you know, ging gang goo, ging gang goo.

The picture being black and white makes it hard to identify - not sure why it's not in colour, it was 1975 after all.

So it was the Leatherhead match. I remember him. A right mouthful as opposed to Chris Kelly who was just a right mouth

Or the old Max Bygraves song Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer etc. Good old Max. Reminds me of the old joke about raincoats and what do you call two men wearing them in a cemetery.
