AND SO IT BEGAN 
Leicester City went into April 7 points off 17th and possible safety with only 9 games left to play. But with 6 of those games at home and only Chelsea of the 'big' 6 to face could Leicester, having been at the bottom for longer than any team previously who survived, 140 days, pull of what would be the.....

WIPE YOUR EYES - What were we seeing ?
​ 

With 5 games in April Leicester managed to win 4 amassing an unbelievable 12 points out of a possible 15 having only amassed 19 all season up to the end of March.
​This included winning 4 on the bounce having not won 2 consecutive games since September.
This meant by the end of the month they had climbed out the bottom 3, a position they had not been in since October

THEY DID IT !!!! - With a game to spare Leicester City pull of the Greatest of Great Escapes with a goalless draw away to Sunderland. A 5-1 final day home thrashing of already relegated Queens park Rangers see's Esteban Cambiasso score on his final game in Leicester blue. 

Personally, I had a 7 hour return journey to see my team get beaten week in and week out, but boy did it make it special when we started winning and survived. 
​
Beating Manchester United 5-3 was an I was there moment (apologies to the lady I was sat next two and in who's lap I ended up on after one City goal) but nothing ever beats the smile I still have today whenever I hear the Great Escape theme being played. ​
