I was extremely fortunate to have done my study abroad at the University of Leicester during the spring of 2016. I will never forget the day that Leicester won the league and how the whole city erupted into a massive celebration. The chants outside the King Power Stadium and just the feeling of euphoria everyone had that night. Truly unbelievable!

@John Buffalo I am 98 I was studying Geology at the University of Leicester. I'm originally from Bogotá, Colombia but I was doing my university studies at Texas A&M University. The geoscience departments between Texas A&M University and the University of Leicester have a direct reciprocal exchange program where students can choose to take one semester of classes in the other university. I just happened to have picked the best time to go to Leicester! I was already following the team for over a year before I went because I started the application process around May 2015, then I got accept to go in November of 2015; by January 2016 I had landed in Leicester. At the point I landed in Leicester they were already in contention for the title and the first premier league game that LCFC had was the 3-0 win vs Stoke City. It was absolute madness after that! My friends and I tried our hardest to find tickets to go and see LCFC play but we could not find tickets until April. We actually found a resale website where Swansea supporters were selling their away game tickets. We bought those tickets (around 150 pounds each when the prices were normally like 30 pounds) and we were completely expecting to get ripped off due to poor reviews left on the website. We took a gamble and decided to buy them anyway and we actually got the tickets delivered! We went to the KP stadium and saw LCFC beat Swansea 4-0 but we couldn't even celebrate the goals because we were in the middle of the Swansea away stand! After that win, it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened and LCFC was crowned the champions of the Premier League!

@John Buffalo I am 98 I'm glad you enjoyed my recollection of one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. My geology career has turned out to be really good, I graduated with my undergrad degree in 2018 and with my Masters degree last May. I am not fully employed as a hydrogeologist!

I watched so many of Leicester's game that season. It was so fun watching them and rooting for them. They had stolen my heart. Vardy, Mahrez and Kante were magnificent and Ranieri was a joy to hear. Aha he couldn't even believe it was happening. It's definitely the best premier league moment of the decade for me. That Leicester team is legendary status forever.

truly a great story in footballing history but there is one thing that i feel is a little unfair. Eveyone speaks about vardy and kante when they mention this team but there was riyad mahrez also. Not many people speak about him in the context of this team. Mahrez was probably their best player that season.He won the pfa player award came 7th in the ballon dor that year which was the highest for a non la liga player that year. I dont intend to take anything away from kante and vardy but i think mahrez deserves a lot more respect

El Dio Although it’s not talked about as much, one of the reasons for Leicester’s success was because several of the traditional big clubs had a bad season. I think they ended the season with 81 points or something when they won it which is quite a lot less than what we’ve seen other champions get in other years. Not to take anything away from Leicester’s success of course because it was phenomenal either way

That whole season was crazy. Not only were Leicester great, they were helped by other contenders having terrible seasons. Chelsea imploded and Mourinho got sacked . Arsenal did nothing in the summer window and collapsed when injuries hit. CIty quit playing once they knew Pellegrini would be leaving. United tried to bore people to sleep with LVG's tactics. Spurs bottled it.
