1485 was the year that King Richard III met his death at Bosworth Field and his remains were found in August 2012 under a car park in Leicester. His body had not been hurled into a river as once thought and after scientific examination the University were confident to confirm that the skeleton was indeed that of the King. THIS BLOG IS ONE FROM A WHILE BACK BUT DOES RELATE TO THIS DAY. Thought I would give you a previous Blog as couldn't find any interestiong subjects apart from VAR!
Sampled DNA was linked to the King's relatives, Carbon dating put the skeleton of a male between late 20s and 30 sometime between 1455-1540s and there was the curved spine. All in all enough evidence was found to have the remains re-buried in Leicester Cathedral. And that may be where the City's luck began in March 2015.
Leicester City have now a handful of Premier League matches to earn enough points to win the title, leaving behind Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham in their wake. Is it excellent coaching and managership by Claudio Ranieri or the work of some more powerful force?
After promotion from the Championship in 2014 as Champions, the Foxes were under the leadership of Nigel Pearson. His team soon were bottom of the Premiership at Christmas and rarely does a side in that state survive relegation. By April 2015, Leicester did survive and despite his momentous efforts, Pearson was let go by the club at the end of the season.
There were many personal and family issues behind that decision. Next decision!
Ranieri was appointed for the new season as his replacement, with much "tutting" from the "experts", for many thought and stated that "The Tinkerman" surely could not save the club? He took Pearson's squad, added an odd player here and there and let loose Jamie Vardy. You know the rest.
The owners, Asian Football Investments, headed by Buddhist Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha will be pleased with their decision making. SO it is not Richard III who has cast his spell, more like Thai Monks, whom Vichai encouraged into the stadium and squad with their magic. IT WORKED....
Was it the inspiration from one of English history's greatest Royal events or the work of the Thai Monks?
The King is at rest "Long Live the Team at the King Power Stadium".
Leicester City, in a few weeks time, should be the Kings of England.(or Monk(ey)s?).
