Leicester fans tell their tale of miracle title

Wednesday, May 04 2016 by SNTV
  • Leicester City secured their first English Premier League title without playing on Monday (May 2nd) after second-placed Tottenham drew 2-2 at Chelsea in one of the biggest-ever triumphs by an underdog in sport. The fans of Leicester give their reaction on Monday night.

    "From to be a championship side and to win the Premier League, as they have done this season, is something really, really special to the people of Leicester who have supported them over the years, on the low sides and highs. But this has got to be the greatest moment of my football support for Leicester City. Oh, it is unbelievable and to be playing in Europe next year as well, it is something special, isn't it? Yeah, I really ... I just can't put into words how I feel really."

    "(I've been) A season ticket holder for 52 years. I am 73 and I have never seen anything like it. I have been through all the Cup finals, play-offs, and everything, and this is the best night of my life, at my age."
    "I took him down, I took him down to the City (Leicester City) when he was how old? When he was five-years-old and he is only 20 and he has seen them win the Premier League, it is brilliant."

    "Ecstatic. It is fantastic. I have sat through relegation, League One, Championship. This is brilliant. It is so good for the city as well, and all the people."

    "You look at Manchester United and Arsenal who win the league over the years and are supported nationally - obviously it doesn't mean as much to them fans as it does to us. We were born in the (Leicester) Royal Infirmary. We were overlooking Filbert Street. And you see the club come through thick and bad times sort of thing. But you never dream of this even happening."
