Walshy kicks off LCFC Exhibition at Snibston

 

Two visitors look at some of the historic shirts on display as part of the exhibition.

Leicester City FC legend Steve Walsh kicked off the new new Exhibition ‘From Shed to Stadium – 125 years of Leicester City Football Club’ in style last Saturday.

The exhibition, a partnership between the football club, a long-standing member of the Leicestershire & Rutland Museums Forum, and Leicestershire County Council examines the history of the club over the past 25 years by looking at the clubs ups and downs, cup successes, the 43 million fans that have passed through the turnstiles as well as notable managers, directors and, of course, players. 

Steve Walsh visited the exhibition last Saturday to talk to fans visiting on opening day and described the exhibition as ‘fascinating’. 

Other fans stayed to listen to club historian John Hutchinson’s talk about the club’s Fosse era from 1894 – 1919.

The exhibition features amazing objects from Gary Lineker’s world cup shirt from 1986 to Jonny Duncan’s ball from 1924 and Adam Black’s boots as well as some more unexpected items that the club has collected over the years. 

From Shed to Stadium is open until 21st March – see the Snibston website for more details.
