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.
