Editorial Review | Many books examined Leicester City s glorious, unexpected victory in this year s Premiership, but only Northcroft s account really understood its significance. The Telegraph, Top 50 Books of 2016 Northcroft s stylish narrative delves deeper than the stock themes of heart, spirit and long-ball football, and argues that it was, above all, a triumph of the collective over the individual; the slow build over the quick fix. Jonathan Liew, The Telegraph Required reading for every club aspiring to achieve a fraction of what Leicester did, it reveals in its impeccably researched detail some of the less appreciated reasons why the greatest miracle in sports history actually happened.
