Season summary

In the 1989–90 season, the Foxes had a very poor start to the season with only 1 win from the first 12 league games that saw Leicester bottom of the second tier of English football for the first time since February 1915. At the end of the year, the Foxes found form with 6 wins from 7 games guided Leicester to mid-table and stayed there for most of the season, settling for a 13th-place finish. In March 1990, there was another chapter in the club's boardroom history when chairman Terry Shipman's father Len died at the age of 87.
