    This really happened...

    It is time to write the latest chapter in 2016's tome of the improbable, impossible and incredible.

    Let's recall that so far this year:

    5,000/1 shots Leicester City won the Premier League.

    David Bowie, Prince and Terry Wogan all died.

    Novak Djokovic was knocked out at Wimbledon by Sam Querrey.

    One Direction announced they are 'on a break.'

    Either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the next US President.

    Northampton Town amassed 99 points and won the title.

    Danny Willett won the Masters.  

    The Stone Roses recorded and released a new single.

    AFC Wimbledon won at Wembley.

    The UK voted to leave the EU.

    This really happened...

    Danny Willett won the Masters.

    Sylvester Stallone was nominated for an acting Oscar - and the shock was that he didn't win it.

    Prime Minister David Cameron resigned and Boris Johnson declined to stand as his replacement.  

    A sheepdog made a solo 240-mile journey from the Lake District to his old house in Wales.

    And now Iceland could join Wales in the last four of Euro 2016.

    I don't even know which way is up any more. Can Iceland really beat hosts France?
