Here's a job description with a difference...

Leicester City Football Club is seeking a "talented musician to provide an historic soundtrack at every home Premiership game". The club has annouced on its website that it is looking for "a horn player who can perform a live rendition of the Foxes traditional entrance tune The Post Horn Gallop."

The successful applicant would apparently be required to play the piece of music 15 minutes before kick off and again as the team runs out onto the pitch at the Walkers Stadium this coming season, and the horn player would be decked out in a blue tunic and hunting outfit.

City's Chief Operating Officer Paul Mace said:

"We experimented with a horn player last season but we want to take this a stage further for the coming season.

"This will be an important position. We want the horn player to become an integral part of the club much the same as mascot Filbert Fox.

"This appointment is part of a significant overhaul of pre-match entertainment and having a dedicated person to perform a live rendition of the Post Horn Gallop is an important part of our plans."

The Post Horn Gallop was used to herald the arrival of mail coaches in the 19th century to warn passers-by of the approaching vehicle. The tune dates back at Filbert Street to at least the 1930s when a lone man stood at the tunnel dressed in a blue and white flock coat with a top hat to match.

If you are interested in playing the Post Horn Gallop please write to Post Horn Gallop Contender, LCFC, Walkers Stadium, Filbert Way, Leicester. LE2 7FL.
