Leicester Klub Sportowy was formed in 2012 as the braninchild of current chairman and former c0-manager Gareth Lloyd, along with his former co-manager Scott Hawker and former club secretary Karl Jackson.
With the new club needing a name, it was Lloyd’s best friend (and at the time LKS player) Ryan Hubbard who came up with Leicester Klub Sportowy. With Hubbard’s love of polish football, he devised that Leicester Klub Sportowy is a polish translation of Leicester Sports Club. More importantly, as we’re not an out and out sports club, the name could be abbreviated to LKS which both Lloyd and Hawker agreed was catchy. With this name on board, Hubbard then set about creating a club badge, which in the end turned out to be a take on the logo of polish club LKS Łódź.
So armed with a name, club badge and colours, the fledgling club entered the Alliance League in the summer of 2012, being placed in Division Six of the league structure. With expectations amongst the other clubs in the Alliance League that this newly formed club were pot hunting, the new club dispelled this as at the season’s end the club had finished in fifth place. Whilst in with a shout of getting promotion until the final stages of the season, the club ultimately were nowhere near winning the league or indeed a cup.
A summer of change has taken place in 2013, with Lloyd and Hawker stepping down from their management positions to be replaced by Mark Cole, with Lloyd continuing as Chairman whilst also taking over Jackson’s secretarial duties. Hopefully a new bright dawn awaits…
