The legend or "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time) played his last game in a Foxes shirt on Sunday 18th May 2025 on his 500th appearance for the club against Ipswich scoring his 200th goal. We begin at the ​⁠ @highcrossleicester Shopping Center where BBC Radio Leicester had partnered with local street art collective @Graffwerk to create a "leaving card" which Fans where able to sign and leave messages for the player. Next we arrive at the ​⁠ @kingpowerofficial stadium where the #VardyParty is well underway with flags proclaiming #ThankYouVards and #GoodbyeGoat is displayed on screen as the famous Post Horn Gallop is almost drowned out by chants from thee crowd of "ooh, Jamie Vardy".

Originally named by a Mr David Edwards (a City Engineer) as a way to wish good luck to Leicester City in a 1969 FA Cup game at the historic stadium, The Wembley Road forms part of a sporting themed naming scheme for the then newly built Braunstone Frith Industrial Estate. Leicester City lost the final in 1969 but 50+ years later in 2021 a historic win for the team gave an opportunity to dedicate the sign to the FA Cup win it was intended to mark. In 2022 the sign was unveiled by club ambassador Alan Birchenall and Mr David Edwards.

A look at the newly unveiled (at time of publication) Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Statue. Seen pre-match at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City hosted PSV Eindhoven in the Europa Conference League, this was many fans first look at the memorial to a great and generous man. The bronze statue stands with thumbs up and is situated outside the stadium on a blue plinth, forming a lasting reminder of Khun Vichai`s legacy at both the football club and the wider city of Leicester. Known as "The Boss" and "The Possible Man" Khun Vichai and Srivaddhanaprabha family created, and continue to create, in Vichai`s memory, a culture of togetherness and support between players, fans, owners and the community that is the envy of many teams around the world.

In February 2022 fans of Leicester City Football Club where invited to the Clubs Megastore to see the FA Cup and Community Shield trophies, up close and have their photos taken with them. I visited the Leicester City Foxes Megastore at the King Power stadium to see the FA Cup and Community Shield, at an event for fans organised by the club. My film begins with scenes fans will know from match days featuring various views of the stadium, before heading into the Megastore to see the trophies themselves. The well known FA Cup team photo featuring Kasper Schmeichel holding the trophy aloft at Wembley provides the background to the two pieces of silverware.

  A wall of New Parks Club in Leicester gets a makeover with a Mural depicting some of the city's sporting successes, including Leicester City Football Club winning the FA Cup and Mark Selby Current World Snooker Champion (at time of publication). The artwork was created by RUELO for Graffwerk, Funded and Supported by The Vichai Foundation, LCFC in the Community and Leicester Fire And Rescue Service.

  To mark the historic win of The FA Cup by Leicester City in 2021, Leicester City Council and Graffwerk came together with street artist Smug to create an artwork on the side of The F Bar on Walnut Street close to both the former and current home of the club (Filbert Street and the King Power Stadium). Featuring several foxes fighting for the cup it visually represents the well known phrase associated with the club of "foxes never quit".

In 2021 Leicester City Football Club reached the FA Cup Final for the first time since 1969 (the first cup final in my lifetime !) around the city and county people decorated shops, houses and more in celebration. In Syston a knitter known simply as SKB has gained a reputation for marking various events through the year by creating "toppers" for the postbox beside the post office on the high street. The historic nature of LCFC`s cup final has been marked by SKB with the appearance of a knitted interpretation of the clubs mascot Filbert Fox atop the post box.

A look at the festive atmosphere outside the King Power Stadium ahead of the Leicester City v Norwich City Premier league match played on the 14th December 2019. My film features the Enderby Band playing Christmas favorites and santa's reindeer outside the ground at a game that also saw free mince pies and santa hats being handed out to fans attending the last game before christmas.

The St Martins Church in Desford Leicestershire was transformed over the weekend of 29th November to 2nd December into a winter wonderland of decorated christmas trees created by village residents and groups on a theme of Your Favorite Story. Among the 37 trees where Mr Men, Dick Whittington and a tree with a Leicester City theme, topped with a miniature Premier League trophy and featuring King Claudio, An invite to Jamie Vardy`s Party and Gary Linekers famous red underwear many fans will remember from his BBC Match Of The Day appearance after their 5000/1 title winning season. The festival also featured a christmas market alongside traditional services.

A look around the Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Garden on opening day. On the one year anniversary of the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Leicester City Chairman Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha his Pilot co-pilot, and several members of his staff, the football club opened a memorial garden for fans and anyone wishing to reflect and remember. We begin by entering the garden alongside the first few fans and lay tributes beneath framed portraits of Khun Vichai and those who lost their lives before following the path around the garden taking in some of the various topiary and other features of the garden. My film ends at the well marking the spot where the helicopter came down.
