BBC Radio 5 live have been speaking to Barrie Tomlinson, who worked on the Roy of the Rovers comics for more than 30 years.

"I think we’ll be hearing the phrase 'this is real Leicester City stuff' from now on," he says. 

"It reads like a Roy of the Rovers script, although if an author had submitted this I might have rejected it as too far-fetched. Readers would have written in and said 'No, this is too daft'.

"I don’t think anything in the book compares to Leicester’s achievements."

They've gone too far this time haven't they? So near the great monarch's 90th birthday as well..

"Ranieri, King of England," the caption reads.

"I roared my eyes out after the game," he says. "Then we got in the car and went down to the stadium. 

"I stood out of my sunroof with my Leicester flag and was down there until two in the morning singing with all the boys, it felt like the whole city was there."
