Summary:
I HAD FORMED A HUNCH WE’D Become CHAMPIONS!
The most unlikely story in the history of sport, told by our greatest football writer
On 25th March 2015, when Ruler Richard III, recently rescued from a municipal car park, was reburied in Leicester Cathedral, his beloved soccer team had just dropped 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur and were bottom level of the Premier League, relegation certainties. With King Richard finally at rest, everything changed for Leicester Town.
Here, in his own about Ruler Power: Leicester City’s Impressive Season words, King Richard III tells this, the most memorable sporting story ever – how 5,000-1 Leading Little league outsiders became champions: the goals, the video games, the dressing-room banter. He gives us the Jamie Vardy tale, from prosthetic-limb factory employee to the most famous striker this part of the River Soar; Mahrez, the great Muslim dynamo from Algeria, once trapped in the French seventh tier; the dark days of the sex video and the late Dec wobble; Lords Drinkwater, Albrighton and the great Tinkerman from Italy, all of them heroes of Shakespearean proportions.
This isn’t a fairy-tale, this really happened. Through the unsanctioned hand of the much-loved Royal, the best football book ever written.
