Listen: Vardy and Leicester City's Premier League party

It started with a record-breaking goal-scoring spree from Jamie Vardy and ended with the most unlikely of Premier League title wins to the tune of an Italian opera.

Yep, there is nothing more surreal than the Foxes 5,000-1 top-flight triumph of 2015-16, which is the focus of the third episode of BBC Radio Leicester's podcast series - Havin' a party: The Jamie Vardy story.

Italian manager Claudio Ranieri was brought to the King Power Stadium and wasn't a universally popular appointment as Nigel Pearson's replacement at the time.

He was known as 'the Tinkerman' for how often he rotated his Chelsea side when previously at the helm of the London club.

At Leicester, he was a dream weaver for transforming the Foxes from relegation escapologists into English champions for the first time.

And it was Vardy, who earned his first England cap in 2015, who led the way with his 24 league goals.

So prolific was the then 29-year-old that he scored in a record 11 consecutive Premier League games.

Leicester City fans, as well as Vardy's former team-mates Marc Albrighton, Danny Simpson and Gary Taylor-Fletcher, as well as former Foxes striker turned BBC Radio Leicester co-commentator Matt Piper, reflect on the title-winning season and the striker's influence.

Gary Lineker, the ex-Leicester City and England forward who was then the BBC's Match of the Day host, also features in the story of a remarkable season that ended with Italian singer Andrea Bocelli singing at the King Power Stadium during their trophy lift.
