Leicester City‘s remarkable Premier League title win in 2015-16 will forever be remembered as one of the best achievements in the history of top-level sporting action.
The Foxes overcame 5,000/1 odds to become the most unlikely champions of England, and it was even more incredible considering that they finished the campaign 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal.
Indeed, a record of 23 wins, 12 draws and three defeats from 38 matches brought them 81 points, comfortably enough to win the title, and it remains to be seen whether an achievement like it will be seen again in England’s top flight.
The Foxes used just 23 players throughout the course of the entire campaign, with head coach Claudio Ranieri relying on a core group of players to deliver the Premier League title.
It was nine years ago today that the party officially started, as Chelsea‘s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the infamous ‘Battle of the Bridge’ confirming the Foxes as champions on May 2, 2016, with Spurs, who finished third, no longer able to catch them.
Leicester are now preparing for a season back in the Championship, having been relegated from the Premier League this term, but the memory of their greatest-ever triumph lives on.
To mark the occasion, Sports Mole is challenging you to name the Leicester squad that pulled off the ultimate underdog story in 2015-16.
