Leicester City's first-ever encounter against German opposition was quite an illuminating affair.
City took on Dorussia Dortmund on October 23, 1957, in a fixture which was used to officially inaugarate the new floodlights at Filbert Street.
City would go on to face German opposition more than 30 times since that first encounter.
Willie Gardiner scored City's winner on that occasion to ensure the fans went home happy.
But Dortmund were to get their revenge in Germany less than a year later, in August 1958, with a 2-1 win, James Walsh scoring City's goal.
Just three months before, City had taken on German amatuer side TUS Neuendorf, with Walsh again scoring in a 1-1 draw.
German opposition were proving to be regular tests for City as they faced Dortmund for a third time on October 29, 1958, and this time it was Joe O'Neill who scored twice in a 2-2 draw at Filbert Street.
City first faced Werder Bremen just a couple of months after England had famously beaten West Germany at Wembley to be crowd world champions, in 1966.
City continued the English dominance, putting Werder to the sword on August 13, 1966, in Bremen.
City ran out 3-1 winners with the goals coming from Mike Stringfellow, Bobby Roberts and John Sinclair.
In May 1967, City took on Bremen again, this time at Filbert Street, and Sinclair and Dominic Sharkey were on target in a 2-2 draw.
City have faced Hannover 96, Hannover SV, Hertha Berlin, Karlsruher, Saarbrucken, FC Nurnberg, Stuttgart, Eintracht Braunschweig, Schalke 04, Kaiserslautern and Borussia Monchengladbach over the years. The last time they took on German opposition on home soil was against Monchengladbach on August 6, 1992, when Alan Smith scored a consolation in a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Foals.
The game was also notable for David Lowe – who had just been signed – suffering a depressed fracture of the cheekbone.
It has been nearly 20 years since City faced German opposition.
They embarked on a tour of Germany in 1995 when they beat Eidar-Oberstein and Einbacht, drew with SSV Rantlingen and lost to FC Nurnberg.
City's record against German opposition reads: Home P10, W7, D2, L1; Away P25, W14, D5 L6.
