The 2004-05 campaign was a season of unfulfilled ambition and disappointment for Leicester City, as The Foxes were unable to secure an immediate return to the Premier League following their recent relegation. A poor start led to a turbulent managerial period that saw Micky Adams resign and Craig Levein take the helm, yet the club ultimately finished in a disappointing 15th place in the Championship. Leading the attack was the prolific David Connolly, whose 13 league goals were a vital contribution in a campaign that failed to live up to the high expectations of the Foxes faithful. The year, which also saw the team wear a special black away kit with a Cambridge blue sash to celebrate the club's 120th anniversary, proved to be a difficult chapter in their modern history.
