Hooliganism

Games between the two teams, like the majority of local derbies in English football, have resulted in a number of football hooliganism incidents.

After a EFL Cup game between the two sides in 1985 which saw Leicester eliminated at the hands of Derby, there was a widespread "riot". [19]

In October 2009, James Underwood, a Derby supporter aligned with the firm Derby Lunatic Fringe was involved in an incident with Leicester supporters. In May 2010, Underwood was then banned from attending football matches for three years for his role in that incident, among other separate clashes involving supporters of Everton, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday.
