DO YOU KNOW THE CLUB THAT ONCE PLAYED ITS HOME MATCHES AT FILBERT STREET IN ENGLAND?

Filbert Street
Filbert Street, in Leicester, England, was a football stadium, and the former home of Leicester City Football Club from 1891 to 2002.  The last game to be played at Filbert Street was the last game of the 2001/2002 season, a 2–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the English  Premier League, from which Leicester City were relegated. Matt Piper scored the winner, the last goal scored at the ground, bringing to an end 111 years of football there.  

Demolition of Filbert Street was completed in the summer of 2003. The site is now home to the 'Filbert Village' development, built as accommodation for students for the nearby De Montfort University and University of Leicester. The club now plays in a 32,500 King Power Stadium named after the owners of the club.
