I PUT A HUNCH WE’D Become CHAMPIONS!

The most unlikely story in the annals of sport, told by our greatest football writer

On 25th March 2015, when Ruler Richard III, recently rescued from a municipal carpark, was reburied in Leicester Cathedral, his beloved football team had simply dropped 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur and were bottom of the Premier League, relegation certainties. With Ruler Richard finally at rest, everything transformed for Leicester City.

Right here, in his own about Ruler Power: Leicester City’s Extraordinary Season words, Ruler Richard III tells this, the most memorable sporting story ever – how 5,000-1 Top Little league outsiders became champions: the goals, the video games, the dressing-room banter. He provides us the Jamie Vardy story, from prosthetic-limb manufacturer employee to the most famous striker this part of the River Soar; Mahrez, the great Muslim dynamo from Algeria, once trapped in the French seventh tier; the dark times of the sex video and the past due Dec wobble; Lords Drinkwater, Albrighton and the fantastic Tinkerman from Italy, most of them heroes of Shakespearean proportions.

This is not a fairy-tale, this really happened. In the unsanctioned hand of the much-loved Royal, the greatest football publication ever written.
