1991–92 Leicester City F.C. season


During the 1991–92 English football season, Leicester City F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.

Season summary

After narrowly avoiding relegation to the Third Division the previous season, Leicester City appointed Darlington manager Brian Little as the replacement for David Pleat, who had been sacked during the previous season. Little turned Leicester's fortunes around and the club finished in fourth, qualifying for the play-offs. After drawing 1–1 with fifth-placed Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium, Leicester crushed United 5–0 in the return leg at Filbert Street to qualify for the final. Leicester faced Blackburn Rovers at Wembley, but lost 1–0 from a penalty from former City player Mike Newell, thus denying Leicester a place in the inaugural season of the Premiership.
