Amy Ollier My love of Leicester City Football Club and the day I met Filbert Fox!
• I got interested in Leicester City Football Club when I was at College in Leicester. My favourite players are Jamie Vardy and Andy King
Leicester City won the Premier League last season They sacked their old manager in February 2017 They had been struggling but have a new manager now and are winning more matches
Leicester City’s mascot is Filbert Fox
My mum got me a membership – it cost £70. I have been to lots of games and I also got a keyring and badge with the membership • I go to games with support from either my brother, step brother and my mum • I like to get a programme every time I go to a match
I get the bus from the Railway Pub with a group of Leicester fans. This takes us to the home games I went to the Victory Parade with my Mum and Dad. It was a really hot day. We went to Victoria Park and saw the team holding the cup on the stage. It was a brilliant day.
On Saturday 4 th March, at the Leicester v Hull match, I got a big surprise! My Outreach support worker – Cherry Welton – had organised a surprise visit from Filbert Fox while I was in my seat before the match! I got my photo taken and was given a Filbert toy as well!
I had a brilliant time, we won 3-1 and I had my photo taken with Filbert Fox! I also had my photo included in a match programme a few weeks later which I have here to show you. I had to give my permission for this photo to be included
The next thing I am looking forward to is a tour of the stadium Femi, the co ordinator at Hawthorn Cottage is helping to organise this. I am going with some of my friends and other service users and staff from the cottages.
I have brought some things to show you – souvenirs and mementos – please feel free to have a look Would anyone like to ask me any questions? Thank you for having me!
