OverviewIn the summer of 2015, Leicester City were written off even before a ball was kicked-5000-to-1 outsiders in the world's richest league. Yet armed with a rag-tag squad of non-league rejects, Ligue 2 misfits and flinty veterans, an Italian manager's pocket bell, and a chairman's boundless humility, the Foxes sparked football's greatest underdog story. From the first-eclipse of top-flight giants to the seismic night Eden Hazard's strike sealed their crown, every chapter pulses with belief, bravery, and the breathtaking unpredictability of sport. 5000-to-1 goes beyond match reports to reveal how data-driven scouting unmasked hidden gems, how a lean training regime outpaced wealthier rivals, and how a culture of teamwork and joy built a dynasty-defying champion. Packed with inside stories, tactical revelations and global fan reactions, this is the definitive account of how a sleepy Midlands city dared to dream-and forced the football world to believe again.
