'We got a police escort to Vardy's party' - Leicester's 5,000-1 title win 10 years on
The jubilant and chaotic scenes in Leicester that night - sparked when the Foxes' nearest rivals Tottenham failed to beat Chelsea in a title-deciding result - was an outpouring of delighted disbelief as the Foxes pulled off what remains one of the most famous underdog stories. The reason it is known as the 5,000-1 title win is that the likelihood of the team that narrowly escaped relegation a year earlier - having only earned promotion back to the top flight after a decade-long absence just 12 months before that - was so far fetched that bookmakers wrote it off as just about impossible. "Ten years on and I don't think a day has gone by where it's not been mentioned," Albrighton said.
And yet, there is a sense of unease about the milestone anniversary because the club's struggles of recent years has culminated in back-to-back relegations. It means Leicester will play in the third tier of English football for just the second time in their history next season. Wes Morgan, who was captain of the Premier League title-winning side, has previously said he is "sad and hurt" to see where Leicester are now, but also insists the club's greatest achievement "definitely needs to be celebrated, talked about and enjoyed".
"I don't think it will taint what we did by any means," Morgan said of the club's relegation from the Championship. "Regardless of what's happened, the club, the fans and everyone will celebrate that time. " Claudio Ranieri was sacked the season after he led Leicester to the title Morgan was part of a core group of Foxes players - which included former non-league forward Vardy, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Drinkwater and Riyad Mahrez - who won both the Championship title with Leicester in 2014 and Premier League two years later.
Andy King was also there for both, as well as the League One title win of 2009 which came a year before the club was transformed by the takeover of the King Power Group, headed by the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Albrighton, along with Leonardo Ulloa and Danny Simpson, were among the players brought in when the Foxes returned to the Premier League. While it was a side that battled to avoid relegation, then boss Nigel Pearson had pieced together the basis of team that would go on to shock the footballing world soon after.
N'Golo Kante - a future World Cup winner with France, who was picked up for about £6m from Caen - was one of a number of crucial additions made in the summer of 2015. Christian Fuchs also arrived on a free transfer that year, while former Germany defender Robert Huth was landed on a permanent deal from Stoke after he played a part in Leicester's 'Great Escape' while on loan.
