They’ve never qualified for the Champions League. Their best English top flight finish was as the 1928-29 season’s runners-up. In a competition bankrolled by billions of dollars in oligarch and financier wealth, little Leicester City, backed by a 330,000-person population, is on the verge of overcoming 5000/1 odds to win the Premier League title.

However, there has been misconceptions on how the Foxes managed to reach this unbelievable position.

At a special shrine surrounded by Buddhist statues and hangings installed by Mr Vichai – the monks, led by ssistant Abbott Phra Prommangkalachan, offer the players what they call “spiritual support”.

That support continues during the team’s away games, such as today’s, when the monks chant and pray for the team at their temple in Bangkok’s Chinatown district, where the Leicester’s billionaire owner has been a devotee for several years.
