City 0 Swansea 0 (15/06/02)


You can no longer tell your grandkids about how you saw the final game ever played on Filbert Street.

Because on Monday afternoon Leicester City played a game there against Swansea City, behind closed doors. In their training kit. And only managed a 0-0 draw.

City fans found out about the game through the Swansea website, and some have not been happy to say the least. Swansea's manager Cussak was a player under Micky Adams when at Fulham.

Swansea forced Walker to make a great save, and closest shot of the day was apparently from Lee Marshall. FFS's tip for player of the season next year (no, honest!)

Assistant Manager Alan Curtis told Swansea City Online after the game that it had been a good performance by the Welsh outfit:

" We are extremely happy with the way the game went. Leicester sent out a very strong side, with bags of Premiership experience and quite a few Internationals, so it was a real test for us but I'm glad to say that we were more than up to it."

City team 1st half: Walker, Impey, Davidson, Heath, Sinclair, Wise, Lewis, Rogers, Deane, Dickov, Piper.

2nd half: Flowers, Ashton, Delaney, Stewart, Elliott, Lyth, Oakes (Darby), Marshall, Benjamin, Stevenson, Reeves.

Muzzy Izzet was left out of this week's games including the trip to Finland as he is still catching up on training due to his 2 weeks off after the world cup.
