Leicester City 1983β84 football season
During the 1983β84 English football season, Leicester City F.C. competed in the
Football League First Division .
In the 1983β84 season, Leicester had a poor start with six successive league defeats which represented the Foxes' worst start to a season and labelled them as early relegation favourites. After going out of the
League Cup though, their form picked up with only 2 defeats in their next 15 league games from the end of October until the end of January. Their relegation worries were formally avoided when Leicester beat
Nottingham Forest 2-1 at
Filbert Street on 5 May with 2 games to spare and the Foxes finished the season in a fairly comfortable 15th place.
