🎥 Rewinding to Leicester's first League Cup success | OneFootball

Things haven't been plain sailing for Leicester City but there was a time when they were semi-frequent visitors to Wembley.

Under Martin O'Neill, the national stadium became a home from home for the club with four appearances there in all competitions during the mid to late 1990s.

But the Foxes had to venture a little further north to claim their first-ever League Cup against Middlesbrough after the 1996 final ended in a 1-1 stalemate.

O'Neill's side took their Premier League counterparts to extra time, with homegrown star Emile Heskey's 118th-minute effort ensuring they remained in the contest.

It's 29 years to the day since Leicester edged out the replay at Hillsborough with striker Steve Claridge's hooked effort in another extra-time contest.

It was the fifth time that the competition's showpiece was taken to a replay and proved to be the last with all future finals settled by extra-time and penalties.
