Still the greatest tale of the whole PL era.
Was well happy for Leicester
Beautiful beautiful memories. The songs we sang on the trophy presentation day - I’m pretty sure every single song of the last 20 years got an airing. Immense. The atmosphere in the concourse was electric - makes my hair stand on end thinking about it.
Sadly I wasn’t in Leicester the night we won it. Strangely I had to go to bed and just read my phone for 3 hours, waiting for different bits of news to come through. I then went to work in my full Leicester kit the next day which entertained the office!
Brilliant.
Like many have said, I was pleased my dad was here to see it. After introducing me and taking me to matches for 10 years, he loads interest when I grew up and started going with my friends. But getting to share that celebration with him felt like a circle connected. Like we’d completed what we started.
As a Leicester fan, I still think that anything we ever achieve is just a bonus. But the first FA Cup in our history would be very very nice.

Agree, fantastic achievement
The most exciting club in the land Spurs, with the brand of press high and quick counter attacks, were robbed and some clubs, with green envy, conspired to make sure a bunch of farmers won it - that's my recollection
Nothing fairy tale about that, just greedy clubs who dominated the league year in and out, were outshone by Spurs and got together to ensure Spurs didn't win it...It didn't matter who else won it...Just under the pretext of fairy tales
More fairies up backsies of the likes of chelsea and their stolen fortunes

They never bottled it though, they were never really in it.

3rd in a 2 horse race
morespurs wake up ,spurs are not a top club. your not in london a big club .2 are bigger, your not a big club in north london arsenal are. when you last won the top division i watched it on my mum and dads black and white tv .there was no colour.chubby checker was no 1 with lets twist again.coranation street was not on the telly.champion the wonder horse was the best you could watch .in london if you wanted a taxi you had to go to a public phone box put money in after pressing button a and when it was answered push button b then a horse and cart would turn up.
It really was just mental to be honest. The stars were aligned for Leicester all season. It reminded me of our CL run in 2005 where there were loads of moments where you just knew our name was on that trophy.
I didn’t think we’d see a small club (no offence intended, but you are in terms of stature and budget) ever manage it purely because of the number of games in a season but it happened. Amazing story.
Club has managed to kick on since as well and still punching well above its weight, so fair play to Leicester.

We also got 4 points against you that season, do you also conspire against yourselves? Vardy, Kante and Mahrez are all proven winners even years now after the 2016 triumph, stop being bitter.

It's only a little bit our fault that they haven't won the title since 1961.
I know there are some of our fans that wish we'd won it on the pitch, instead of it being won courtesy of a Chelsea draw with Spurs.
However, I wouldn't have changed that day at the King Power for anything; knowing we'd won it, would lift the trophy whatever and could just enjoy the day and everything it was. There happened to be a football match in the middle of it. It almost felt like a formality rather than the event itself. It was particularly helpful that football match was against a team that were effectively already on the beach and even the opposition fans didn't care that much about the situation for themselves. I recall some Everton fans gave up their tickets to Leicester fans so they could be in the stadium to witness it all. That's always stuck with me as a great gesture, even if their team was mid-table, with a doomed manager and nothing to play for.
It was a great day to be a part of.
Let’s be honest Dunge, with our history however we won it would feel immensely special.
I look back with great pride at the way the city came out to celebrate together that night even though there was no game. People young and old, from all different cultures brought together by the event. It was beautiful to watch.
Then to turn up to the game and basically just have one big party also special.
Now could an in game moment of realisation that we’d don’t it too that? Maybe, but I’ll save that one for Claridge’s Wembley winner and enjoy this for what it is, our greatest moment in our history!
We won’t have a day like the Everton game ever again, it was such a special day, such a high it took me a long time to get over the days not being that good the next season
