Season summary
In the 1974–75 season, Leicester could not improve on last season's 9th place, finishing 9 places lower. Goalkeeper Peter Shilton refused to sign a new contract and followed his mentor Gordon Banks by signing for Stoke City at a record fee for a goalkeeper of £325,000 in November and resulted in Mark Wallington starting the season in goal. From early November to late February, the Foxes didn't register a league win in 13 games which saw them slip to bottom of the table and heading for relegation but again their FA Cup progress gave them a boost in their league form. As the season drew to a close, Chris Garland improved their strike force by scoring 8 goals in 10 matches, which was enough to save the Foxes from the drop in 18th and 3 points clear of relegation.
