Infos

From the loveable Claudio Ranieri winning the Premier League with the 5,000-1 underdogs to Brendon Rodgers lifting the FA Cup five years later this is the story of football's romantics, the archetypal underdogs biting the so-called Super League elite. If ever there was the perfect riposte to those inflated egos who wanted to take the game away from the people and claim it as their own, then the exploits of Leicester City epitomises the right of the true fans to dream the impossible dream. First Ranieri fulfilled those dreams with he broke the mould of the Big Five and claimed the title, and then, perhaps even more remarkable, to prove it wasn't just a one-off, Rodgers ended a long run of FA Cup Final heartaches by claiming the club's first ever victory in the world's oldest and most prestigious cup competition. In so doing he became the first manager since Sir Alex to win the cup both side of the border. Between the two highly unpredictable episodes came untold tragedy when the club's adored owner was killed in a helicopter crash leaving the King Power Stadium. Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha took over the running of the club after his father Vichai died in that tragedy in 2018. The Thai family bought the club in 2010 and have transformed it from a provincial outfit to a global entity.
