03.04.1982	Spurs won this FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park under sad circumstances, as the Falklands War had broken out the previous day. This placed Ossie Ardiles in a difficult position, with his loyalties divided and although he played, he received a lot of abuse from the Leicester fans. Although this was to be his last game for Tottenham that season, he helped Spurs through to the final, even though he would not be there himself. The match was close until the 56th minute, when Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle worked a short corner with Ossie crossing to find Garth Crooks six yards to volley home powerfully. Leicester lost Tommy Williams, carried off with a broken shin and having used their subatitute were down to ten, with Spurs taking advantage by pressurising Ian Wilson to lob a 76th minute back pass over his keeper's head to make it 2-0.

27.04.1974	Tottenham's win was assured by Martin Chivers' 100th League goal for the club at White Hart Lane.

18.11.1972	Tottenham deserved their 1-0 goal at Filbert Street and could have beaten Leicester City more convincingly. Spurs dominated the first half and hit the woodwork twice through Alan Gilzean hitting bar and post, while Martin Peters went close to breaking the deadlock.

Len Glover got the first Foxes goal and Jon Sammels hit the equaliser from the penalty spot. Cyril Knowles scored a spectacular goal to restore the Tottenham lead and then scored from a penalty kick, after his first attempt had to be re-taken, to make it 4-2, but Leicester had not given up and Malcolm Partridge scored towards the end of the 90 minutes to make it a nervy ending for Spurs.

Allan Clarke had put the Foxes ahead before Jimmy Greaves pulled Spurs level and then gave them a 2-1 lead before half-time. There was a hat-trick goal for Greaves after the interval and then Len Glover narrowed the arrears with a fine goal, but the visitors could not grab a third.

25.03.1967	A lacklustre game saw Jimmy Robertson's goal settle the Division One match with Leicester City. The goal that won the game came in the 42nd minute after Alan Gilzean had set up the opportunity and although Leicester forced for an equaliser in the second half, Jackie Sinclair's miss when well placed exemplified their poor finishing.

Les Bennett was the supplier for Sonny Walters to fire an unstoppable shot to put Spurs in front, and Len Duquemin added a second to round off a satisfactory first-half for Spurs. Charlie Adam got Leicester back into the match with a second half goal, but the pressure was mainly on the home defence, who managed to hold out to prevent a bigger Tottenham victory.

Lee brought the scores level again minutes after the restart, but once more Len Duquemin netted , this time with his head, getting on the end of Stevens' corner to restore Tottenham's advantage.

11.04.1936	A 1-1 draw with Leicester City at White Hart Lane, with George Hunt scoring for Tottenham came with a much changed team from the previous day's match at Charlton Athletic. An injury to Arthur Rowe at centre-half forced Spurs into playing centre-forward Doug Howe in his place. In the time of the match, players were not as versatile as now and specialised in one position. However, Howe did a good job marking Leicester centre-forward Fred Sharman. The following week, Rowe returned and Howe dropped to the reserves in his usual attacking role. The visitors to the Lane were Leicester City Reserves and after being marked out of the previous first team game, Fred Sharman had been dropped to the second XI and was asked to play centre-half, with the roles reversed from the Saturday before !!
