Doesn't seem that long ago to me! Relegation to League One and Return to the Championship On 4 May 2008, Leicester City's 0â0 draw with Stoke City was not enough to save the club from relegation due to other results going against them. This means that Leicester played in League One during the 2008â09 season â the first time that Leicester have played in the third tier of English football. Ian Holloway was sacked and was replaced by Nigel Pearson who led Leicester straight to the League One title, leading the division for much of the season, also going a club record 23 league games unbeaten. They clinched their return to the Championship with three games remaining in the season, defeating Southend 2â0 on 18 April 2009. Matty Fryatt also netted 32 times this season, becoming the first Leicester player to score over 30 goals in one season, since the legendary Arthur Rowley, 52 years previously.
5 years ? ****, time flies. I remember it Well, but what a good season it was in div 1. Wolves will love it.
I wonder who was manager of Southampton when they pulled off the great escape on the last day that sent us down?
