Bentley's Roof refers to Mr Bentley's roof of his house which was in whole hazlenut street, when Gordon used to skew his goal kicks out the ground, the ball often went over Mr Bentley's Roof, hence the name Bentley's Roof!



It must also be said that Mr Bentley was a right miserable bastard and would often stick his garden fork through the ball before givin it back.

Answer 5

Bentley's Roof is in fact an anagram of 'L See Yob Front', a little known radical movement that split off from the BRLF (bentley's roof liberation front). It's members are known as Roofer's and they meet at the 'This is not a wine bar' Wine Bar in Leicester city center, just off Horsefair st, well known for it's Marxist literature and surrealist art adorning the walls. The idealogical split occurred after the BRLF was seen as too moderate in towing the party line offered by the club (which is in itself ironic as the BRLF was formed for the same reason after the Foxes Trust were accused of the same thing). It's modus operandi is mainly whinging, sarcasm, and dry wit mixed in with performance art. An example of which was seen last season when a member stormed the pitch and proceeded to tear up his season ticket in front of an astonished crowd in the style of 'tank man' from the Tiannimen square uprising in China in the late 1980's.

Answer 6

It was a code word. At that moment in a Leicester City home match, usually early on in the first half, when it became clear that the overpaid underperforming nonces in the blue shirts were yet again going to roll over and lose to the likes of Burnley or Burton Albion, 'Bentleys Roof' was the signal for a thirty stone lapdancer from Eyres Monsell to start breakdancing on top of the nearest Bentley in the players carpark. Usually it was DJ Campbells. But any of them would do, really.

Answer 7

Bentley's was factory next door to the football ground, on the corner of Burnmoor Street and Filbert Street. A few enterprising supporters would occasionally get onto the roof to watch the games.
