Tifo Football Podcast

It was just under 10 years ago, on May 7, 2016, that fans gathered outside Leicester City’s King Power Stadium to celebrate their side being crowned as the most unlikely champions in the history of English football. Fast-forward a decade and the club has been relegated to League One as part of an unthinkable decline.

On today's episode, Joe & Jon perform Ring for Analysis, while reading through Rob Tanner's Leicester City post-mortem https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7218400/2026/04/23/leicester-city-relegation-inside-story/
