It took Leicester City Football Club 87 years to move one step further up from the old First Division’s runners to Premier League champions. But when they did finally win it all in the 2015-16 season, it was a football fairy tall, described as a once in a lifetime achievement, against all odds, a football-heaven season. It's seven years later and the almost inevitable has happened – Leicester was relegated to the Championship.
It took the club just one season, but for the 2024-25 football year, there will be, once again, Premier League football played in the King Power Stadium, after Leicester has secured a return, capturing the Championship title with some matches to spare. The attack is led by 37 year-old striker Jamie Vardy, the lone survivor from the unforgettable championship season.
The heros of the title season a long gone, part because Leicester, a small-market city, has to sell its star players in order to maintain an operating budget. The first to leave were Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City) and N'Golo Kanté (Chelsea). One by one they left King Power stadium. The last one was club captain, legend and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who spent 11 season and 414 matches playing in Leicester. Suring that spell, the club was unable to replace them.
In between, there were some fine seasons and achievements, as Leicester became one of the Premier League's elite, finishing 5th during 2 seasons, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League and winning the FA Cup in 2021 under Brendan Rodgers.
Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) was founded as Leicester City Fosse F.C. in 1884 and joined the Football League six years later. Financial hardship struck, and the club was taken over by a company and changed its name to Leicester City in 1919. It wasn’t until 1948 that the fox’s head was added to the now famous club shield, to commemorate Leicestershire’s involvement with fox hunting, thus giving the team its nickname “The Foxes".
During the 50’s, Leicester was promoted twice to the First Division. During the 1956-57 season, striker Arthur Rowley set a club record with 44 goals scored in a season.
The club reached three FA Cup Finals during the 60’s and won its first League Cup in 1964, an achievement that resulted in its first European competition. The goalkeeper in that span was Gordon Banks, England’s finest ever goalkeeper, a World Cup winner in 1966, who made 293 appearances for Leicester between 1959-1967. By the way, Banks was sold to Stoke City for then a goalkeeper’s record of 50,000 GBP.
Banks was replaced in goal by a young Peter Shilton, who made 286 appearances for Leicester during 10 seasons, and registered 125 caps for England.
Despite winning the League Cup in 1997 and 2000, Leicester spent the majority of the four decades since the 60’s either trying to avoid relegation, or moving up between the divisions. The lowest point occurred in 2008-09, when the club has fallen to the third division. However, its rise to prominence was rapid and took only seven years. In between, Leicester relocated in 2002 to the new 32,500 seats Walkers Stadium, sold to a Thai consortium in 2010, and renamed its home the King Power Stadium in 2011. During the 2014-15 season, the club was once again fighting relegation, but managed to win seven out of the last nine matches of the season and kept its place in the Premier League.
The championship days of 2015-16 were so stunning, that club legend Gary Lineker, now a TV pundit, promised that if Leicester would win the title, he will present the first show of BBC’s Man of the Match next season in his white Leicester underwear. And he kept his word. Ranieri’s men were off and running since day one, with striker Jamie Vardy breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League record and scoring in 11 consecutive matches. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel - together with his father, Manchester United great Peter - became the first ever father-son combination to win the title.
