It is truly a remarkable story. The surprise is that the team\u2019s success is well deserved, playing like champions all through the season, with determination, a clear strategy that worked, and the winning spirit and will of champions. Leicester City FC\u2019s achievement is been described as historic and one of the greatest \u2018grass to grace\u2019 stories of this era.No wonder the celebrations have been spontaneous and global. Before this feat, success in club football has usually been a factor of money, how much a club spends to buy the best players available as well as the best coaches. The poorer teams usually only just made up the numbers on the league table, providing the stepping-stones for the few richest teams to climb to the top year after year. That\u2019s the global trend. So, when that trend fails and an unlikely team, with 5000 to 1 odds against it, wins, as deservedly and convincingly as Leicester City FC just did, the world takes notice and celebrates it. That\u2019s what has just happened. In the history of the English League, only Nottingham Forest FC and to Blackburn Rovers have achieved something similar. That\u2019s why this is a fairy tale of great global significance. How Leicester City did it will be a subject of study for some time to come. All eyes will be on the team during the next football season particularly as they step out to play amongst Europe\u2019s top teams in the European Champions League. Until then, I join millions of new fans of Leicester City FC around the world in celebrating their monumental achievement.   Rashidi Yekini \u2013 4 years of deafening silence!"}
