Leicester City legend Steve Walsh is hosting An Evening with Mike Tyson at Leicester’s Collisseum venue, with tickets selling like crazy, this is the must [...]

Free Bikram Yoga Sessions

Bikram-Yoga_21-10-09-Logo1

Bikram Yoga has taken the world by storm in recent years and Leicester is very lucky to have their own Bikram centre in town. This weekend you’ll have the opportunity to sample the delights of Bikram out in the open air, away from the usual sauna like conditions that it’s normally practiced in! Yes, this [...]

Walshy’s Blog: Pre-season

Not long now until we get to see the new kit! It’s great to have Puma on board, they’re a fantastic brand to be involved with so the kit should be top quality. It’s a new concept to me to launch it at an open training session, but it’s a great way to get the [...]

Walshy’s Blog: Pre-Season’s Here

So, that’s Euro 2012 over! It was always going to be tough for England! I said from the start that I thought it would be between Spain and Germany and in the end Spain thoroughly deserved the win. 3 major trophies in the last 3 tournaments is a huge feat for them, you can’t even [...]

Walshy’s Blog: 26 years and counting!

Wow, so 26 years ago this week is when I signed for Leicester City, time flies! I didn’t realise it was that long until the club website reminded me! I’d actually had a bad break in my leg the year before but Hamilton brought me down to Leicester and signed me straight up! I met [...]

Walshy’s Blog: Fixture Excitement

So the Euros are in full swing with England doing really well to win their group. My predictions are still looking good and I really can’t see past Spain or Germany winning the tournament, I think England have surprised a few people but I don’t think they have enough in them to quite go all [...]

Walshy’s Blog: Euro goals and the new season

coolas_sm

What a tournament it’s been for Sean St Ledger – the first active Leicester City player to score in a major international tournament. When it first went in I thought it was an own goal, but what a fantastic moment for him! Unfortunately the efforts were in vain as they crashed out of Euro 2012, [...]

Walshy’s Blog: Fans, Farewells and Filbert Street Memories

With last season behind us all thoughts are now looking ahead. That’s certainly the view of City’s faithful season ticket holders. There’s been a good response to renewals so far and the club are very fortunate to have such a staunch following who are with them through thick and thin. As soon as you’ve purchased [...]

Walshy’s Blog: 18 Years On…

I know you’ll all be reading this a few days late but today’s a special day for me as I write this – 30th May, does the date ring any bells? Yep, that’s the day we beat Derby in the Play Off Final and finally made it into the Premiership. Geoff Peters was presenting on [...]

The sun’s out and the end of the season seems a while back now, but it’s never too soon to start looking towards next season. Pre-season is only around the corner and the exciting news this week is the match against Sunderland that’s going to be played in the summer. We’ve had some great pre-season [...]

What a weekend it was last week! On Sunday Leicester City kindly put on an event for box holders and fans which allowed them the chance to play at the King Power stadium. Ali Mauchlan and myself were managers alongside Matt Elliott and Ian Marshall and everyone involved had a tremendous day!  I managed to [...]
