The Foxes were 5000-1 outsiders to lift the trophy last August, less likely than Elvis Presley still being alive

As Leicester City continue their remarkable bid to win the Premier League title, five points clear with seven matches to play, supporters and staff have had little time to reflect on their success.

The Foxes were rank 5000-1 outsiders to lift the trophy at the beginning of the campaign, an occurrence considered less likely than Elvis Presley still being alive, but Claudio Ranieri continues to mastermind the most stunning season in recent history.

With Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy applying a touch of stardust to their ranks, the workmanlike endeavour of Danny Drinkwater and N’Golo Kante keeps them on the right track.

With just seven ‘cup-finals’ between now and the end of the season, Ranieri’s boys know they are on the precipice of the most starling sporting achievement in living memory.

Nobody can get their heads around it, not least the King Power Stadium regulars who have made a name for themselves as one of the loudest fan bases in Europe.

In this video, courtesy of Copa90, we look at how the baffling events in Leicester are going down with those supporters.

From the groundsman to the kitman, they tell their stories of a season they'll never forget.
