Leicester City’s 5,000-1 Premier League title win – 10 years on

The jubilant and chaotic scenes in Leicester that night – which erupted when the Foxes’ nearest rivals Tottenham failed to beat Chelsea in a title decider – were an outpouring of delighted disbelief as the Foxes pulled off what remains one of the most famous underdog stories.

The reason it’s known as the 5,000-1 title win is that the odds of the team narrowly escaping relegation a year earlier – having only earned promotion back to the top flight after a decade-long absence just 12 months before that – were so far fetched that bookies wrote it off as next to impossible.

“Ten years later and I don’t think a day has gone by where it hasn’t been mentioned,” Albrighton said.

“It shows the magnitude of the achievement.”

And yet there is a sense of unease about the milestone anniversary because the club’s struggles of recent years have culminated in rugby relegations. This means Leicester will play in the third tier of English football for only the second time in their history next season.

Wes Morgan, who captained the Premier League title-winning team, previously said he was “sad and hurt” to see where Leicester are now, but also insists the club’s greatest achievement “should definitely be celebrated, talked about and enjoyed.”

“I don’t think it will tarnish in any way what we’ve done,” Morgan said of the club’s relegation from the Championship.

“Regardless of what happened, the club, the fans and everyone will celebrate that time.”
