Leicester City 1991–92 football season
During the 1991–92 English football season, Leicester City F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division .
Season summary [ edit ] After narrowly avoiding relegation to the Third Division the previous season, Leicester City appointed Darlington manager Brian Little as the replacement for David Pleat , who had been sacked during the previous season. Little turned Leicester's fortunes around and the club finished in fourth, qualifying for the play-offs. After drawing 1–1 with fifth-placed Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium , Leicester crushed United 5–0 in the return leg at Filbert Street to qualify for the final. Leicester faced Blackburn Rovers at Wembley , but lost 1–0 from a penalty from former City player Mike Newell , thus denying Leicester a place in the inaugural season of the Premiership .
