Professor Robert Garner explores a remarkable period in Leicester City's history - a time of extreme highs and lows - while shining a light on wider aspects of football culture. How, against all odds, did an unfashionable and relatively poor club, with a history of only modest achievement and many disappointments, defeat the richest sides in the land to win the Premier League title in 2016? Why, after several more successful seasons, did the club tumble out of the Premier League, only to return after one season away? What was it like for a Foxes fan to experience these highs and lows? The author tackles each of these topics, but the book is far more than a study of one club. Through his experiences as a football dad, Garner examines the grassroots game and the often-murky world of academies. He also looks at the nature of football fandom, why football matters to so many people, the historical development of the game and the consequences for the sport of the pivotal role now played by money and financial inequality.
