As everyone associated with Leicester City Football Club knows, the Foxes unfathomably lifted the Premier League trophy just over 10 years ago. In addition to being familiar with that historic feat, the vast majority of LCFC supporters are aware that most of the squad gathered to celebrate at Jamie Vardy's house on the night their triumph was officially confirmed.

That evening stands as one of the most famous celebrations in the team's history, sparked when former Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard scored against their own rivals Tottenham Hotspur to seal the miraculous title win. Ex-City captain and centre back Wes Morgan recently joined 'The Vardy Pod' to reminisce about the night, and admitted he told Hazard he "loved him" when they next met in the league - a revelation that is both hilarious and deeply touching for the loyal Blue Army faithful.

Mayhem erupted across the city and within the Vardy household the moment confirmation arrived, but it was the players themselves who had truly earned the glory after a season of extraordinary grit and brilliance. Finishing ten points clear at the top of the table is undeniable proof of just how thoroughly they deserved their crown.

Leicester City party hard

Morgan recalled that everyone went "mental" (his word) with delight. Yet Jamie Vardy himself was simply sitting on the floor in stunned silence, struggling to process what his team had accomplished.

The 39-year-old striker explained that Leonardo Ulloa had darted into another room where the match was being shown on a separate television. The Argentine forward then launched himself onto one of Vardy's sofas and began performing somersaults - a moment of pure, unfiltered joy that perfectly captured the surreal magic of the occasion.

In the market, right-back Danny Simpson was pacing frantically up and down in the garden, seemingly unable to fully comprehend the magnitude of the achievement he and his teammates had just secured. It is entirely understandable that such a landmark success would feel almost impossible to take in, for this was a storybook ending that few could ever have dared to imagine.

After the initial wave of euphoria settled, a quieter moment followed as everyone pulled out their phones to share the news and speak to loved ones. Yet celebrations were far from over, and once the reality of what they had done began to sink in, another round of singing, shouting and joyous revelry was ready to restart.
