The Amazing Underdog Story of Leicester City, the Greatest Miracle in Sports History. Many books examined Leicester City's glorious, unexpected victory but only Jonathan Northcroft's account really understood its significance. Jonathan Northcroft is a football correspondent. A few lines from the book that I enjoyed reading. Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal. A bag of money has never scored but plenty have promised assist. And there were Leicester, little Leicester, back in their box. The banknotes of all the big clubs in the world seemed weigh down the lid. Neglected players with nearly a manager from a nonentity city top of the Premier League? Their run had been nice, fun but this was February and football awaited the moment it would end. Now it seemed the moment was here. I really enjoyed reading about football for a change.
