Both sides have had campaigns to forget, but the death of Ewood legend Parkes last week has put that into perspective, and Rovers’ rise out of danger under O’Neill had also engendered optimism among the home fans.

It was Leicester who looked most likely to score in a lacklustre first half, as Rovers keper Balazs Toth did well to keep out Harry Souttar’s header before parrying Mavididi’s effort. He then

Former Jamaica international Morgan made 324 appearances in his near decade-long stay with the club, having joined the Foxes from East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in 2012.

He was part of the team that won promotion as Championship title-winners in 2014, led them in the ‘great escape’ as they narrowly avoided relegation a year later and then went on to skipper them to the famous Premier League title win.

Leicester ‘face £70m black hole’ after disastrous spending gamble

By Total Football News

From the outside it might seem difficult to understand quite how the Foxes got here.

Leicester have been relegated despite having several of the highest-paid players in the Championship.

Even the six-point deduction for failing financial rules in 2023-24 may not mathematically send them down, after just two wins from 19 league games in 2026.

Just last month Leicester reported a deficit of £71.1m for the 2024-25 season, when they

Two years ago, at the age of 37, Vardy was Leicester’s top scorer with 18 goals as they won promotion from the Championship as title winners.

The ripples were still being felt and, after an eight-game winless start to 2022-23, Rodgers said Leicester needed to focus on reaching 40

Leicester, Premier League champions 10 years ago, had shouts for a penalty waved away by referee Gavin Ward in the opening 10 minutes when Conor Shaughnessy brought Patson Daka down in the box but nothing was given.

The hosts were forced into making two early changes when winger Keshi Anderson and full-back Terry Devlin, who recently picked up Portsmouth’s player of the season award, were withdrawn because of injury.
