If you grew up in Hinckley - who do you support in the M69 derby?

The excitement is building ahead of the opening day of the new Championship season for Leicester City on Sunday, when they host Coventry in the first M69 Derby for over a decade.

It's a massive game for all Leicester fans, but for those in Hinckley, this is a fixture that means that extra bit more.

Sat right in the middle of the M69, with the two clubs at either end of it, the town does have some split loyalties that can divide families and friendships.

Here at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Leicester, we have huge Foxes fan Jack Rafferty, who is best mates with Coventry supporter, producer Charlie Burton.

So, how did they end up connected to either club? Charlie and Jack invited their Dad's, Andy & Steve, along to the studio to relive the tale, starting with how Jack became a Fox.
