The Foxes win the League! Leicester City FC team heroes!

The people of Leicester city (which now includes the entirety of Leicestershire, if numbers are are anything to go by) were all out celebrating the AMAZING win by the Foxes of their first top-level football championship, the 2015-2016 Football League! 
It was an historic occasion so I joined the tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans watching the Champions arrive at Leicester's Victoria Park on their open-top bus, League cup, goal-scorers, managers, sponsors and all. Even the sun was suitably impressed and shone throughout a glorious day! 

WELL ACHIEVED LEICESTER FOXES!!!

Leicester City FC - Back in the Premier League!

I've had no option but to get to like football since the early days of taking photographs for the Leicester Mercury. Hours spent in the Filbert Street Stadium either results in total boredom or some degree of interest in the game.

So what cool news this weekend when everything fell just right and local heroes Leicester City FC found themselves back in the Premier League after a decade in the First Division. (Full story here.) CONGRATULATIONS THE FOXES & FOXES FANS!!
