2015–16 Leicester City F.C. season 5000-1 with bookmakers to win the division before the season kicked off. The feat meant that Leicester would be playing in the UEFA Champions League the following season, a first for the club in their history. The season also saw history be made for individual players within the team, as striker Jamie Vardy broke the record for goals scored in consecutive games in the Premier League (11) and Winger Riyad Mahrez became the first Algerian player to be the recipient of the PFA Players' Player of the Year.

2001–02 Leicester City F.C. season 2001–02 Leicester City F.C. season During the 2001–02 English football season, Leicester City competed in the FA Premier League (known as the Barclaycard Premiership for sponsorship reasons). A terrible start to the season saw Peter Taylor sacked at the end of September and Dave Bassett named as his replacement, with Micky Adams joining as assistant manager. For a while, it looked as though Bassett was capable of keeping the Foxes in the Premiership, but a four-month winless run beginning in December killed their survival hopes and they were relegated on 6 April after losing 1–0 at home to Manchester United.
