Managed by Brian Little, a Leicester City squad that included the likes of Steve Walsh and Julian Joachim took on the Germans, who arrived with plenty of pedigree following their ‘golden era’ in the 1970s, during which they finished runners-up to Liverpool in the 1977 European Cup Final. The match itself eventually went the way of their visitors, with local boy Richard Smith getting City’s only strike in a 3-1 defeat.
