In a season that surpassed even the wildest dreams of Leicester City supporters and football fans around the world, the Foxes displayed remarkable consistency and resilience on their way to lifting the ultimate prize in English football.

With the help of Dave Smith, who co-authored the much-loved Of Fossils & Foxes, we’ve crunched the numbers on that astonishing campaign.

Through 38 Premier League matches, we saw victory 23 times and lost only three matches all season. Claudio Ranieri’s side built on a rigid defensive shape and combined it with explosive counterattacking might which tallied 81 points, 10 clear of runners-up Arsenal, to complete one of the greatest sporting achievements of the modern footballing era.

Jamie Vardy’s remarkable campaign produced 24 league goals, second only to his national team-mate Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot. More memorably, Vardy broke Ruud van Nistlerooy’s Premier League record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches, a feat celebrated across the nation. Riyad Mahrez supplied magic of his own, including the Club’s only league hat-trick of the season away at Swansea City.

The success of the side was reflected in the honours collected at the end of the campaign. Vardy, Mahrez and N’Golo Kanté all received major individual awards, while captain Wes Morgan, along with Vardy, Mahrez, and Kanté, were named in the PFA Team of the Season.

Ranieri himself was recognised with both the Premier League Manager of the Year and League Managers Association Manager of the Year awards.

Leicester’s success was not solely built on established names. Nine players made their league debuts for the Foxes during the campaign: Kanté, Christian Fuchs, Shini Okazaki, Demarai Gray, Gökhan Inler, Joe Dodoo, Nathan Dyer, Daniel Amartey and Yohan Benalouaine.

The season also produced unforgettable moments beyond the statistics. Leonardo Uloa’s dramatic 89th minute winner at home to Norwich even registered 0.3 on the Richter Scale in a local university seismology project, while Chelsea’s Eden Hazard famously scored the goal against Tottenham Hotspur that mathematically secured the title for Leicester.

From attendances at King Power Stadium, 32,242 fans packed the ground during the opening day of the season versus Sunderland, to the 75,275 in attendance at Old Trafford in May, the day City could have clinched the title with a victory, these numbers tell the story of a campaign that changed football forever. Yet for Leicester City supporters, our supporters, 2015/16 will always mean far more than statistics alone – it was the season dreams became reality.

Be there for our 5000/1 Anniversary Match, with net proceeds supporting important work within our communities through the VS Foundation with funds raised to benefit Leicester City in the Community and its work across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
