I wrote to Mike recently to get some of my photos signed which were returned today.
MikeStringfellow played 14 seasons as a winger for Leicester City in the 1960s and 1970s. He began his career at Mansfield Town whom he joined as a schoolboy in 1957. He made his first-team debut playing as an outside-left in the game against Rochdale on 30 August 1960.
He scored 12 goals in 65 appearances for the Stags, before moving to Leicester City for £25,000 in January 1962 – the highest transfer fee ever paid for an 18-year-old at the time. He was a member of the Leicester side that lost against Manchester united in the 1963 FA Cup Final, and scored one of the goals when the Foxes won the League Cup the following season with a 4–3 aggregate win against Stoke City.
In 1968, Stringfellow suffered a serious cartilage injury, and was never the same player. Nevertheless, he remained on Leicester's books, mostly in a reserve role, until 1975 when he quit the professional game and finished his career with non-league Nuneaton Borough. In all competitions, Stringfellow played 377 games for Leicester and scored 98 goals.
