To mark the anniversary of Leicester City’s unforgettable Premier League title triumph, Sports Mole challenges you to name all 23 members of their title-winning squad.
The Leicester City party may still be going on after they clinched the Championship title on Monday night, beating Preston North End to secure top spot in the second tier ahead of the final day.
The celebrations may evoke some memories of their unforgettable Premier League triumph in 2015-16, when they incredibly overcame 5,000/1 odds to become the most unlikely champions of England we have ever seen.
Indeed, it is an achievement regarded by many as one of the most remarkable stories in sports history, with Claudio Ranieri‘s men seeing off the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to finish top of the pile.
The Foxes used just 23 players throughout the course of the entire campaign as Ranieri shed himself of the ‘tinkerman’ tag and stuck with a winning formula throughout the majority of the campaign.
It was eight years ago today that the party officially started, with Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the infamous ‘Battle of the Bridge’ confirming the Foxes as champions on May 2, 2016.
To mark the occasion, Sports Mole is challenging you to name the Leicester squad that pulled off the ultimate underdog story in 2015-16.
