The fixture between Leicester City and Nottingham Forest is a football rivalry played between the two East Midlands clubs, often referred to as an East Midlands derby.[2][3] There have been a total of 102 meetings dating back to 1901.[4]

Notable games

One match which remains Leicester City's worst defeat and Nottingham Forest's record league win is the 12-0 result at the City Ground on 21 April 1909, when Leicester were known as Leicester Fosse. The performance by Fosse players was so appalling that The Football League ordered an enquiry, although no further action was taken after it turned out several of the already relegated Leicester side were hungover from a player's wedding the night before.[5]

On 18 September 2007, Nottingham Forest were given a 'free goal' by Leicester City in a League Cup match at the City Ground.[6] It was a rescheduled match after their original meeting on 28 August, which Forest were leading 1-0, was abandoned due to Leicester player Clive Clarke collapsing in the dressing room at half-time.[7] Leicester nonetheless won the match 3-2.[8]

To date, there have been nine hat-tricks recorded in fixtures between the two clubs, of which seven are from Nottingham Forest. Of the seven, three of those hat-tricks came from the 12-0 mauling of Leicester Fosse in 1909.[5] Forest's most recent hat-trick against Leicester was from Robert Earnshaw in December 2009.[9] In November 1948, Don Revie became the first Leicester player to score a hat-trick against Forest,[10] a feat matched by Jermaine Beckford in a 4-0 FA Cup win on 17 January 2012.[11]

Switching sides

Peter Shilton established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the country at Leicester City before enjoying European success with Nottingham Forest.[12]
Martin O'Neill played for Nottingham Forest and was manager of Leicester City.

Hooliganism and crowd trouble
