The key factors in the Foxes’ triumph were a strong, well-balanced squad a tough but charming manager a well-run scouting policy (paying particular attention to the financially stretched French leagues) two powerful, resolute central defenders who took it as a personal affront if an attacker got past, backed up by perhaps the best goalie in England great team spirit (pizza and all that) and going out of the FA and League Cups early so they didn’t have too many games to play (it won’t be like that next season). Now the world is trying to learn from the Leicester City playbook. Better people make better All Blacks, was the message. A lot of it, the book said, boiled down to humility, believing in the collective, going the extra yard, and, crucially, ‘no dickheads’.
