Foxes Take Chelsea to the Brink
By: Matt | November 1st, 2007Carling Cup: Chelsea 4 Leicester City 3
Leicester City lost a thrilling 4-3 contest to Chelsea on Halloween night in west London. A tremendously entertaining contest which saw a glut of goals and an inspiring performance by City keeper Martin Fulop. The Halloween frights were fast and furious for the Chelsea supporters, as only two late strikes from Sheva and Fat Frank Lampard stole the victory.
I thought the goal of the game was DJ Campbell’s looping header over a stranded Cudicini to pull the sides level at 2-2. I can’t help but chuckle everytime I read or see Campbell play. I remember watching him line up for non-league Yeading a few years ago in the FA Cup versus Newcastle. His profession at the time? Lorry driver. Brilliant. The distance he was at that point from the shining lights of Stamford Bridge, and John Terry’s 150k per week wages was astronomical, but there he was on a Wednesday night, peeling away in celebration as Cudicini pulled the ball out of the back of the net. Well done lad.
