It was never supposed to happen. Ten years ago, Leicester City had only just escaped relegation and were widely tipped to go straight back down. Nigel Pearson had gone, replaced by Claudio Ranieri — a charming appointment many didn't take seriously. “Claudio Ranieri? Really?” Gary Lineker tweeted, echoing the mood.
The squad, too, was written off: unfancied names, cast-offs, players dismissed as not quite Premier League standard. And yet the season began with wins, belief grew, and the Foxes refused to follow the script. What unfolded next gripped a global audience — the 5,000/1 outsiders who turned a long-shot into a sporting fairy tale.
The Leicester Mercury's 48-page anniversary special tells the story in full, packed with interviews, features, statistics and match-by-match coverage of the long road to glory.
