king alfred the great

We dont need Alfred we have our own king who stayed in the city for 500 years.
one King Richard, theres only one King Richard
Led his team into batlle, only to be betrayed by the men from the North.

Dung you are wasted... no i mean really wasted

Thorneyfox: when a bloke is called Richard III, "there's only one King Richard" doesn't have an entirely convincing ring to it

fatfox--very good, but we cant shout One King Hunchback or similar, it would sound even worse.

surely it was your second bottle???

Or more properly, thorny -

"One King Richard, there's only One King Richard
Led his team into battle, only to be betrayed by the men from the North-West."

Richard was a northerner, born, raised and revered there, but alas not destined to be buried there, it seems. Henry VII (aka Harry Tudor) was Welsh, and by 1483 the leader of the Lancastrian faction.

I read somewhere Alfred the Great was voted in the top 14 'Great Britons' of all time.

I shan't look, but I reckon the top 13 played for City/Fosse at some stage....

Malling--sorry history lesson time, Richard 111 was born in Fotheringay near Peterborough,he expected to win battle of Bosworth, but was betrayed by the Stanleys,and more importantly the Percys of Northumberland.
Like 1066, the battle could have gone either way and history changed forever.

Mea culpa on the place of birth, thorny.
