Elliott At The Double
The 2000 League Cup Final saw Leicester in their third final appearance in four years, against First Division Tranmere, and the last League Cup final before the Twin Towers disappeared was one to remember for the Foxes skipper.
Matt Elliott headed home Leicester’s first goal before referee Alan Wilkie was stretchered off and replaced by fourth official Phil Richards.
Clint Hill picked up his second booking and was sent off after a foul on Heskey but Tranmere equalised through David Kelly. Three minutes later Elliott scored another towering header to secure the Trophy for Martin O'Neill’s side.
