A Football Fairy-tale Come True

The 2015-2016 Premier League football season was full of surprises, not least of which was its unlikely winner. Leicester City, a club which had hit (1) d. rock bottom in 2014 finishing in fourteenth place, found itself (2) a. top of the league one year later and went on to win the title. It was an unbelievable (3) d. turnaround which its supporters could never in their (4) c. wildest dreams have imagined.

At the beginning of the season, bookmakers' odds of 5,000 to 1 on Leicester City go to show how far out of the (5) b. running they were expected to be. Commentators, fans and sports experts had all but written the team (6) a. off. But under the leadership of their new manager, Claudio Ranieri, the team went from (7) d. strength to strength during the season and finally lifted the cup for the first time in their club's history.

This huge (8) c. accomplishment proves that with courage, hard work and a little bit of luck, even the lowliest team can come out on top.
