Details: Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781782815976 Publisher: John Blake Overview The Immortals is the remarkable diary account of Leicester City Football Club's extraordinary 2015-16 Premier League title win. Written by award-winning sports journalist Harry Harris, the book charts a season that began with the club predicted for relegation and ended in one of the greatest sporting upsets in history, priced at 5,000-1 by bookmakers before a ball was kicked. A must-read for football fans and anyone who loves an against-the-odds sporting story. About the Book From a predicted relegation battle, combined with the appointment of a new manager few fans initially favoured, this is the unique story of how Leicester City Football Club defied every prediction to complete a sporting feat so unlikely it was rated a 5,000-1 possibility by bookmakers. Weaving in the recent history of the Nigel Pearson era that preceded it, Harry Harris followed the remarkable 2015-16 Premier League season closely, producing this thrilling diary-style account of the impossible as it unfolded week by week. Drawing on reactions and insight from manager Claudio Ranieri, the players, backroom staff, football pundits and the passionate Leicester fanbase, the book builds the complete picture of how hard work, team spirit and unshakeable belief triumphed against overwhelming odds. It captures the tension of a title race that few saw coming, the tactical shrewdness of Ranieri's management, and the human stories behind a squad written off by almost everyone in the game. The result is both a celebration and a record of how Leicester City became Champions of England and earned the nickname 'The Immortals' - a story that resonated far beyond football and became one of the most talked-about sporting achievements of the decade. Complete diary-style account of Leicester City's historic 2015-16 title-winning season Written by an award-winning, experienced football journalist and author Includes r
