THE IMMORTALS
THE STORY OF LEICESTER CITY’S PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON 2015/16
Written by Harry Harris, with 75 best-selling books to his name, the account of how the team rose from the bottom of the league in the previous season to triumph against all odds will be a must-read for all Foxes fans as well as millions of neutral supporters who adopted Leicester as their favourite team during the dramatic end of season run-in.
Under the wise managership of Claudio Ranieri, the East Midlands club stunned football supporters by topping the toughest league in the world despite not having a recognised superstar.
With massive team spirit, the team kept Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City at bay and went from 5000-1 outsiders to win the league. Players such as Jamie Vardy – who scored 13 consecutive goals from August to November breaking Ruud Van Nistelrooy's Premier League record -– became a household name and also part of the England squad for upcoming European Championships. Mdfielder Riyad Mahrez scored breathtaking goals; Shinji Okazaki, married silky skills with a ferocious work ethic; N'Golo Kante, was the dynamic midfield terrie; and Kasper Schmeichel’s dependable displays brought him out of the shadow of his famous father and Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.
