Leicester's Carling Cup tie at Nottingham Forest in August was abandoned at half-time when City defender Clive Clarke collapsed in the dressing room.
More details - abandoned matches.

For the first time since the 1907/08 season three clubs from outside the top flight contested the FA Cup semi-finals. But sadly Barnsley and WBA were defeated in the semis while Cardiff were beaten by Premier side Portsmouth in the final.

Sheffield United progressed to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup defeating Premier Division Manchester City thanks to a one-two with a balloon.

Hull were always known as the biggest city not to have had a club play in the top flight. But no more - they were finally promoted to the Premier League.

between Sunderland and Derby County proved
to be a unique encounter -
The Match of 3 Halves.
