    Honestly I don’t think that vid encapsulates just how crazy it was. From prospective relegation, 7 wins from 9 to save it, Pearson getting sacked and all the controversy he and his son brought, then a constant “wait, they won again?” in the 15/16 season with everyone cheering them on… What a time… 😌

    Agreed. Glad you're getting to learn about it but that was not a great video really. I know they were 5000/1 which pretty much tells you how unlikely it was, but yet it still felt even more unlikely than that! They just kept winning. Many smaller teams have good starts to a season or good winning runs but they ALWAYS fall away, they just can't maintain that level for a whole season. Somehow they did , although definitely took advantage of the fact that all of the big heads seemed to have bad seasons too.

    You have to truly understand the english football league system in and out and how hard it is to not only win the premier league but to win the championship and to not be relegated, all of these things are extremely hard to articulate or understand unless you are so well versed in the system imo.. so you are right the video only does so much, you have to do your own to research to truly understand that it'll never happen again

    One thing I find FASCINATING about Leicester's championship is their style of play. EVERY league winner over the last decade or two has done it with ball control and pressing - the modern style. Except Leicester. They played back and tight defensively, drawing the other team forward... then SPRING out on a counter attack. Very similar to Morocco at the World Cup, this year. It's really cool to see the different tactical systems have success at the highest level.

It also reverberated around British football itself reviving that fading and jaded dream that together as a team you really could beat any other team put in front of you when playing the game of football! Leicester City rescued 'hope and determination' for the entire UK footballing community and everybody loved them for it!

I've been a football lover for over 50 years, and this was the most extraordinary feat achieved by an underdog that I've ever seen, since it did not happen in a cup, but in an entire championship. And Ranieri, albeit having been a manager in some top clubs, had never won a top title before.

To say it was a rough 10 years is an understatement. Loving the fact Leicester City is now a global phenomenon.

    What never seems to get highlighted in most Leicester documentaries or videos highlighting their story is the fact that they had a prime N'Golo Kante in their midfield! Baffles me as he was the best player in their squad and the player who went on to have the most success after leaving Leicester winning the World cup and Champions League.. N'Golo Kante during his Leicester days was so so soo good that you'd just have to accept that your playing against 12 players not 11 whenever you played him... The guy was everywhere. Best midfielder in the world hands down for a period in time. What made it even more sweet was that both Kante and Mahrez were plucked out of the French 2 & 3 leagues almost for free and Jamie Vardy was playing non league (Semi pro) football a few years back in the 6/7/8th division in England. Mental story from top down. Fun fact btw that Drinkwater lad turned out to be one of the biggest flops in football after signing for Chelsea for around 40m shortly after the winning the league with Leicester. Don't think he ever made more than 10 appearances and if he did he was lucky. He was on the books of Manchester United as a youth player, his attitude took him all the way down to the championship with Leicester... He forms part of the greatest sporting title win ever, gets his second chance to get that big move and ruins it again! 😂 So it wasn't all roses for everyone after this I suppose

    In 40 years of watching football i've never seen anything like this season, it was like a comic book movie. This doesn't remotely tell the full story, i unfortunately didn't get on them at 5000/1, but i saw a statistic at Christmas that year that that said if you looked at the points for the full calendar year rather than just that one season they'd got more points that any other team apart from Manchester City, So i checked it and then put £20 on them at 70/1. Safe to say i was pleased with the result :) What makes it even better was they were all players who'd been released by bigger clubs or had never been given a real chance because they weren't seen as being good enough. Like Vardy.

    Leicester City have had quite possibly the most insane and eventful past 10 years any football club could ever really have, in my opinion, and there are *so* many different stories involved along the way that it would literally be impossible to tell the story in any single KZread video, let alone one that's ten or so minutes long. The NBC Sports KZread channel has the full upload of "The Leicester City Story" which is like 45 minutes long and I HIGHLY recommend watching that, even if it's just in your own time, because it's an in-depth look at the year they won the Premier League and some of the key players that contributed to it, but again, that's only just ONE year of Leicester's insane decade, although obviously it's the most insane. Seriously, from the Watford-Leicester semifinal where they failed to score a pen, then conceded at the other end at the very end of the match and failed to gain promotion to the Premier League... ...to returning to the Premier League in record-breaking fashion after ten years away... …to becoming the first team in Premier League history to beat Manchester United after going down by two goals, in a wild and famous 5-3 result… ...to their historical "Great Escape," where they went from relegation in 20th place and only 19 points from their first 29 matches at the start of April to safety in 14th place and 41 points with seven wins in their last nine matches by mid-May… …to overcoming 5000-1 odds and winning the entire Premier League and the very next season after off-season controversies led to a change in manager… …to competing in the Champions League for the first time ever against European mainstays like Atletico Madrid… …to the tragedy of the club owner and chairman losing his life in a helicopter accident just outside the stadium after a match… …to beating Southampton on the road by a score of 0-9 and recording the largest ever away (and joint-largest ever) victory in English top division history… …to being in position to qualify for the Champions League again for two consecutive seasons, only to fail on the last week each time (seriously, out of the 76 game weeks across those two seasons, Leicester were within the four qualification spots 74 times, and the 2 weeks they weren’t were the final weeks of each season)… …to winning the FA Cup for the first time in club history and breaking the stigma of being the team that had reached the final the most times without ever winning the trophy… …all the way through competing in other European tournaments and investing massive money in a new state-of-the-art training complex as well as beginning plans to expand the stadium. And all of this excludes the stories of Leicester's players, such as Vardy, who went from the eighth tier of English football to playing for the English national team, breaking the Premier League record of most consecutive goalscoring matches ("It's eleven, and it's heaven for Jamie Vardy!") and becoming the oldest ever Premier League Golden Boot winner (season's top goalscorer award). It’s been a wild decade filled with inconceivable highs and depressing lows, and for a club the size of Leicester City, it’s only been magnified that much more. I know Luke was looking for an English team to support and he didn’t want it to be one of the big teams that just dominates through spending unending money, and I really do feel that with its recent history, Leicester might be the club he’s looking for. At this stage they can’t exactly be considered a “tiny” club, but they definitely have a tendency to punch above their weight. …it’s a shame they’re a bit shit this season, though.

Never believed they could go all the way, but they just kept winning. Ranieri was a great manager. I always loved "The Tinker Man", and felt he had some unfinished business in the EPL when left Chelsea. Glad he found his success at Leicester.

    To put into perspective, someone said that jets winning the super bowl was less surprising than Leicester won the premier League. So in NFL itself you can have 50% win rate on regular season an still proceed to playoffs as long as the rest of the teams from the same division had worse records and won the championship as long as you won all playoff games. While in premier League model it is impossible to win the championship with 60% win rate

    Ranieri is the type of manager you get, when you are with the back against the wall, he plays a catenaccio style out of a compact defense. with leicester he had the luck to have some, at the time, highly underrated attackers like Vardy who worked well in his system. he managed 23 clubs in 37 years. he got a bunch of clubs out of bad spots but not always, Watford for example didn't work out. at the moment, he is trying to get a italian team up into serie A, not going too well either.

    It is even MORE incredible because, yes, they got relegated. Then they got Promoted but their first season back in The Premier League saw them BOTTOM and so certain to finish in the Bottom 3 and get relegated again that if you thought that would happen then you had to risk $1,000 to win TEN Dollars ! and after winning something like 2/28 they won 8 out of the last 10 and stayed up and avoided relegation on the final day of the season..THEN they lost their Manager, who save them. They got a very old Manager who had just been sacked twice and THEN they won THe League at Odds of FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE...The biggest odds EVER in a Sporting contest....:)

    Seasons of premier league to watch highlights of - Arsenal Invincible - Man City Centurions Also if you are interested Amazon prime has All or Nothing documentary series which are brilliant if you want to learn about the clubs, teams, personalities and the season as a whole . They have done a Man City, Arsenal and Spurs series each across different seasons The most recent series was last years Arsenal season and I would highly recommend it especially after the season that Arsenal are having.

    Someone was as smart as you are because they did exactly what you said. 5000/1 too good to not take it and let possible money go away. I would had put $1 at least too if I've had knew about it 😂. As previously mentioned, the largest payout on the Foxes’ title triumph was £75,000 from a £50 stake, but it could have been much more. The punter that placed the bet cashed out for his five-figure fee in March and had they let the season run to its conclusion, the payout would have been £250,000. Another punter by the name of Leigh Herbert won a total of £20,600 after cashing out half of his bet slip while letting the remaining money run until the end of the season. He cashed £2 of his overall £5 and won £5600, and the remaining £3 returned £15000 when Wes Morgan lifted the title alongside Ranieri.

    Leicester didn’t relegate in the beginning of the vid, but failed to promote. 3rd to 6th in championship (the league) will have a playoff for the premier league where one of them get promoted. 1st and 2nd automatically get promoted after the season. The next season they won the championship dominantly

    To try and contextualise the magnitude of Leicesters win since the year 2000, ONLY Manchester United (8), Manchester City (6), Chelsea (5), Arsenal (2) and Liverpool (1) have won the Premier League. Infact since the Premier Leagues inception in 1992, the only non 'big6' team to win the Premier league is Blackburn (1) and Leicester (1). Blackburns being in 1995. The premier league is so competitive that Manchester United, historical juggernauts, with literally a billion £ team hasn't won it in a decade. Meanwhile Leicester with a miniscule budget won the whole thing.

    I remember nobody saw this team coming. Even though they're still a top 10 team in the premier league most assumed there a team happy to stay out of regulation and kinda keep staying in the premier league to get a extra years media payout. I think it's like $60 million dollars more of a yearly payout than the championship.
