In late February, I made the two-hour journey north from my home in London to witness what some have started to call a miracle.
The procession of supporters wearing blue scarves and replica shirts heads through the streets of Leicester toward the King Power Stadium. King Power is a Thai company that runs duty-free shops and employs more than 7,000 people. The company, along with some business partners, also owns Leicester City Football Club, a team that hasn’t come close to winning the top division title in English football since it came second in 1929. When the Thai-led consortium bought the team in 2010, it seemed rather like a vanity project for the wealthy overseas owners.
