This book explores the highs and lows of a remarkable last decade in the history of Leicester City. What was it like for a committed fan? How can it be explained? Along the way, among an array of topics, it examines the grassroots game, the nature of football fandom, and the historical development of the game and financial inequality.

Robert Garner is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Leicester. He has published 15 books on a variety of subjects. This is his first on football, although he is a regular contributor to the FanSided site Foxes of Leicester and is a lifelong Foxes fan. Despite being a university professor for 30 years, he admits, rather sadly, that he probably knows more about football than the subject he chose to build his career on.
