The LFA celebrates the history of football in Leicestershire, which is full of drama, excitement, controversy, violence, and even a tinge of sadness.

140 years ago this month, Leicester Fosse played their first-ever game - against Syston Fosse. Remarkably the event was reported in the Melton Mowbray Mercury and Oakham & Uppingham News on 6 Nov 1884. leicestershirefootballarchive.com #LCFC #leicestercity
