The 2000-01 campaign was a season of dramatic peaks and troughs for Leicester City, starting with a superb run that saw The Foxes top the Premier League table in October and sit 3rd at Christmas under new manager Peter Taylor. However, a devastating late-season slump, which included eight consecutive league defeats, dragged them down to a final 13th-place finish. New £5m striker Ade Akinbiyi finished as the club's top Premier League scorer with 9 goals, in what proved to be the penultimate season at the historic Filbert Street stadium.. The 2001-02 campaign delivered ultimate heartbreak for Leicester City as The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League, finishing bottom of the table in a tumultuous season marred by a managerial merry-go-round and severe financial crisis. Striker Brian Deane's crucial 7 goals anchored the attack in a year defined by a debilitating 16-match winless streak that sealed their fate. The season holds a painful nostalgia as it was the club's final year in their beloved 111-year-old home, Filbert Street, ending with a bittersweet final-day victory over Tottenham Hotspur, marking a devastating yet pivotal chapter in the club's history.
