2022 sees Leicester City celebrate 25 years since the club’s League Cup victory in 1997, a win which firmly cemented Martin O’Neill’s place in Leicester City history.

Over the next few years he went on to achieve even more, take the team into Europe and reach further cup finals at Wembley. But how much do you remember about that time? Read on to take on our O’Neill Era Quiz.

In October, Martin will be back in Leicester for a special event at King Power Stadium to mark the anniversary and to raise money for Menphys. Hosted by BBC Radio Leicester’s Ady Dayman, guests will enjoy a Q&A with Martin as he looks back on his period in charge of the Foxes, including Play Off victory and two incredible League Cup triumphs. This is the first time that Martin has returned to Leicester for an event of this kind, and you can be sure of finding out some wonderful stories with Chief Football Writer for The Times, Henry Winter, the one putting the questions to him.
