This is the site of the former Filbert Street football stadium, which served as the home of Leicester City FC from 1891 until 2002. The stadium was demolished in 2003. Up ahead is the Filbert Village development, built as accommodation for students for the nearby De Montfort University and University of Leicester. Lineker Road is now covered in graffiti and run down, Gary would be proud!
