The 2006-07 campaign was a season of deep turmoil and an anxious battle for survival for Leicester City. The Foxes ultimately secured their Championship status with a tense 19th-place finish after manager Rob Kelly was sacked and replaced by caretaker Nigel Worthington, who steered them to safety. Leading the fight with determination was the club's Player of the Year, Iain Hume, whose 13 crucial league goals proved decisive. It was a turbulent year that marked a major change in ownership and remains a defining, dramatic chapter in the club's recent history of narrowly avoiding the drop.
