    I did some research. I know a lot of teams containing the "City" suffix used to be called something else in the days before colour was invented. I checked Leicester and sure enough, they used to be called Fosse.

    I had no idea what Fosse means so Googled and turns out it was a Roman road that stretched from Northern Nigelshire to Souther Nigelshire.

    I've heard of Fosse Way but then as a metal detectorist I have a keen interest in Roman roads and settlements. Perhaps THFC6061 might care to do some questions about metal detecting for a change?
