In 2016, Pearson was replaced by Claudio Ranieri. The appointment of the infamous “Tinkerman” - a journeyman coach who enjoyed a respectable but not spectacular spell at Chelsea more than a decade prior - was not met with great fanfare. Many pundits predicted The Foxes would go down. Ranieri, with a team made up of mostly the same players who barely survived relegation the season prior, did the unthinkable and won the Premier League. Leicester City became the first new Champions of England in 38 years.
With a squad costing a combined £54m, one million pounds less than what Manchester City paid for Kevin De Bruyne alone, Leicester made history and left the entire sporting world in utter shock and disbelief. Many of the greats from that squad, including the likes of N’Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Riyad Mahrez, have since left the club. Nonetheless, this shouldn’t worry the Leicester faithful too much.

A decade later, due to a financial scandal the club was reformed as Leicester City in 1919 and that is how they continue to be known today. Throughout the 20th Century, Leicester City were either an average to below average top flight outfit or a Second Division side. During those decades, they did win the Second Division seven times, as they yo-yo’d back and forth between the leagues. In 1964, they won their first piece of major silverware when they captured the League Cup. They would go on to win that same cup twice more in 1997 and 2000.
Leicester moved around a lot in their early years before finally settling down at Filbert Street. They would play their home games there for the next 111 years before finally moving into the newly constructed Walkers Stadium at the turn of the century. Naming rights were subsequently sold in 2011 and the ground became known under its current name, the King Power Stadium. Leicester were once known as “The Fossils” during their time as Leicester Fosse, “The Filberts” upon moving into Filbert Street and finally “The Foxes”, which has stuck. They are still known today as The Foxes, a name inspired by the rich historic tradition of fox-hunting in the Leicestershire area.
Their badge is still adorned with the image of a fox to this day. The club became a fully fledged member of the Football League in 1894. At the beginning of the following century, after a couple of mediocre seasons in the Second Division, they were promoted to the First Division in 1908. However, their first season in the big time proved to be an epic disaster. Not only were they immediately relegated back to the Second Division, but they also suffered a 12-0 thrashing against their greatest rivals Nottingham Forest, a scoreline which remains their biggest ever defeat. Leicester have played out many a memorable East Midlands Derby against Forest, but this was certainly one to forget.
