Correct me if I am wrong but seem to remember one of their biggest fans was Eric Morecambe, must be looking down on them this year !
They were briefly a very decent Championship side as well under Mike Newell. Then they lost most of their best players (Leon Barnett, Curtis Davies, Kevin Nicholls, Rowan Vine etc.) and the manager never saw any of the millions they'd made on them.

Always liked they're ground looks like it has it's own style when i've seen it on telly.
Their "hospitality boxes" look as though they're glorified portacabins built into the side of the ground.

It's a complete dump located in one of the grottiest areas I've ever seen. After a trip to Kenilworth Road you wouldn't use the phrase "it's grim up North" ever again.
We had been hammered at Football and some physically too - the joys of being a footy fan eh ? The only bright spot is it was FA Cup day and I recall Man U leading Northampton 6-0 and a Mr G Best had scored all 6 ... and then Match abandoned ! Footnote .... Man U beat The Cobblers 2-8 on that day ... but no mention of it being called off ... my memory must be feeling its age !
Always a top division club in the 1980's and won the League Cup by beating Arsenal at Wembley. Just shows what can happen if your club is not well run and able to live within its means.
