Fearless

This is an incredible story. However the story is buried in multiple, deep player and staff bios. It gets really boring and I had to give up halfway through. There’s no tension or drama. Pretty boring book.

Great summary of a great season

Leicester's winning of the 2016 is without question one of the greatest stories in sports history. As the supporter of a down-on-our-luck English football club (so down that I'm embarrassed to say who), I wanted to know how we could emulate Leicester's success, i.e. win without the big boys' millions. The answer is in here, but you have to look for it. Instead of emphasizing what made Leicester unique, the author has concentrated on profiles of pretty much everyone at the club. He clearly did a lot of work developing his sources (except for the manager, Claudio Ranieri, which is a huge omission) and I assume felt the need to include everything he got. The result is a lot of fluff, compounded by the fact that the author is not that good a writer. He's a sport journalist, so I was at first surprised by this, but he does excel at describing and summarizing the games which made up Leicester's campaign. It's a shame the rest of the book isn't as good.

I found the writing choppy in general and disjointed in places. There are some good anecdotes and views in to how the team held together through the season. It is a decent enough look back at a miraculous season.

One of those rare books that when I finally closed the book I wished I could start again and read it for the first time.At the end of the 2015/6 football season a substantial number of books were published relating to the extraordinary triumph of this east midlands club in winning the Premiership. Mr. Northcroft's book was issued much later and I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all those who. like me, wish to re-live that glorious season when the title did not follow its usual;route to London or Manchester.The games themselves are , in the main, described only briefly.There are portraits of the leading players of whom I found Riyad Mahrez to be the most interesting. You will also find brief biographies of Ranieri and oher staff members.As noted in other reviews the book is superbly written with both humour and sensitivity.I eagerly await Mr.Northcroft's next book which, hopefully will also deal with one of the "less fashionable" clubs.One, and only one, moan. No index

One of the finest books on Leicester City I have ever read.This extremely well researched & brilliantly written book brought the memories & goosebumps of Leicester City's 2015/16 fearless season flooding back.All the highs and very few lows of that record breaking season are here to relive, not only Leicester City fans but for all football fans dreaming of beating the big boys at their own game.Five Star Fearless

Great book gift for other half

Great book confirming that Leicester City are the greatest team in the world :D

As a neutral football fan this story of a team who was turned into champions by Ranieri who's tactical knowledge managed to work with Leicester and had made the impossible to possible with the board's backing.
