Amazing facts about Leicester City are to be expected considering the remarkable story from the title-winning side.

Hundreds of column inches have been written in recent months on Leicester City’s monumental rise from relegation fodder to title favorites in the space of twelve months. Nevertheless, it still seems so surreal. Out of nowhere, Claudio Ranieri’s boys have sprinted ahead of the multi-millionaires residing in London and Manchester. And with just six matches remaining, they look closer to winning the title.

From Jamie Vardy’s record run of scoring in consecutive games to Ranieri showing that his pathetic exploits in Greece were just a blip in a remarkable career, Leicester’s season has truly torn apart all the scripts written before a ball was kicked last August.

To try and put everything in perspective, here are some numbers that demonstrate the remarkable nature of the Foxes rise to power.
