Can anyone confirm where Vardy came from? I'm wondering if he came from non-league or somewhere else? They seem to have overlooked his origins.

Fleetwood Town, i believe. Although he came from non league before that.

From wiki :-

• 1.1Stocksbridge Park Steels
• 1.2FC Halifax Town
• 1.3Fleetwood Town
• 1.4Leicester City

I'm not that arsed about Leicester winning it, I hope they enjoy their moment.

However I'm genuinely pleased for Ranieri, who has always come across as a good manager, but a very nice bloke, he was shit on by Chelsea, so I'm thoroughly delighted he's won it.

Hope he walks round the bridge last game,showing the trophy off.

Loving those Leicester player celebrations. Bringing back memories. Hopefully we'll get to feel it again!

Slightly better than when Leeds won it and David Batty famously said "it's a bonus"

Congrats, we'll done Leicester.
I was there in the 60's and what we achieved under Sir Joe and Big Mal is on par with this but they kept it going for years, lets see if Leicester can do that.

I don't think it's on par. This is Leicester's first ever league win. If 1968 was our first win then maybe it's comparable. But it's not. Also it was a much more level playing field then.
What Leicester have done is unbelievable. Whether they continue with further successes or not doesn't really matter. Leicester fans will dine out on this one win forever more, and so they should. Having experienced the joy of winning the league I have nothing but good wishes for all Leicester fans. Subsequent success doesn't really matter in light of this one truly remarkable success.
