A last-gasp equaliser from Emile Heskey at Wembley Stadium had took the League Cup Final to a replay at Hillsborough, on 16 April, 1997, as Leicester City and Middlesbrough resumed rivalries in Yorkshire.
The replay was as tight an affair as the first meeting between Martin O'Neill's Foxes and Bryan Robson's Boro, with the showpiece event once again going into extra-time after a goalless 90 minutes.
For City, who had only lifted the famous trophy once before, in 1964, it turned into an evening of joy, however, as Steve Claridge's bundled effort, in the 100th minute, gave them the lead.
They were able to hold onto it, too, capping off an excellent first campaign back in the Premier League, which ended with an incredibly respectable ninth-placed finish for O'Neill's side.
O'Neill's tenure would include another three top-10 finishes in the top-flight standings, plus a further League Cup success in 2000, but the Club was in a different place in the summer of 2002.
Relegated back to the old First Division, Micky Adams was the man tasked with securing an immediate return to the Premier League and overseeing Leicester's transition into their new Filbert Way home.
Even with the distractions of administration hitting the Club midway through the 2002/03 season, Adams expertly guided the Foxes through choppy waters ahead of Brighton's visit on 19 April, 2003.
Goals from Muzzy Izzet and Jordan Stewart sealed a 2-0 victory over Adams' former side, mathematically confirming City's promotion back to the top tier after just one year away.
Despite only earning promotion from League 1 in 2009 - also an anniversary of this week in history - Leicester were at the top table of European football just eight years later on 18 April, 2017.
Atlético Madrid were the visitors to King Power Stadium for a UEFA Champions League Quarter-Final tie against the Foxes, who were the reigning Premier League champions.
Antoine Griezmann's penalty during the first leg gave the Spanish giants a one-goal advantage over City, who had overcome Club Brugge, Copenhagen and Porto on their way to the last-eight.
Leicester's intrepid European adventure did come to an end, with Saúl Ñíguez's netting an away goal before Jamie Vardy's later effort for the home side, but City can forever be proud of their showing.
