Leicester captain Wes Morgan hailed the Premier League champions as “a band of brothers” as they celebrated their astonishing title triumph on Monday. “It’s the best feeling of my career and I couldn’t be prouder that it’s as part of this team,” Morgan said.

“Everyone’s worked so hard for this, nobody believed we could do it, but here we are, Premier League champions and deservedly so.

“I’ve never known a spirit like the one between these boys, we’re like brothers.

“People saw it last season when everyone expected us to be relegated, but we fought back to prove people wrong.

“This season’s been a continuation of that. We’ve built on the momentum, but I don’t think anyone believed it would come to this.”

Aside from Leicester’s tremendous team-spirit, the blistering form of England striker Jamie Vardy was the most crucial component of his club’s charge to the title.

Vardy’s 22 goals put Leicester in position to take the trophy just a few years after he was playing in the non-league and only 12 months after the Foxes narrowly avoided relegation.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling. I’ve never known anything like it,” Vardy said.
