There are so many amazing and unforgettable players from Leicester City Football Club's unfathomable 2015/2016 Premier League triumph, therfore that season was always going to go down as the most significant single moment in sport that has ever happened. It'll be hard for anyone to find one more momentous season in football; many heroes emerged from that Foxes triumph, none more so than striker Jamie Vardy, winger Riyad Mahrez, midfielder extraordinaire N’Golo Kante, and last but not least, captain Wes Morgan.
LCFC were guided by Claudio Ranieri, and it is worth recognising his achievements and history in the sport as both a player and a manager. It should also be remembered that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the late great LCFC chairman, oversaw the entire operation which brought nothing but pure, unadulterated joy to Leicestershire.
Everyone in that team deserves a shout, alongside those already mentioned, like goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, right back Danny Simpson, centre half Robert Huth, left back Christian Fuchs, central midfielder Danny Drinkwater, left winger Marc Albrighton and second striker Shinji Okazaki. You may also be aware that Vardy now runs his own Jamie Vardy’s Having a Party podcast, where said legends occasionally appear on his show.
Jamie Vardy and captain Wes Morgan name Leicester City's biggest 2016 diva and best player
Morgan was recently on The Vardy Pod, and the pair talked about numerous humorous and insightful aspects of that famous season a decade ago. Vardy actually asked Morgan who the most important player in the squad was, and the ex-Nottingham Forest man named N’Golo Kanté, not only as that but also as the best player he ever played with; Vardy concurred in both instances.
Meanwhile, JV9 put it to captain Morgan who the biggest diva was in that campaign too, and the big centre back said that he would nominate Danny Simpson just because he 'gets his eyebrows done'. Vardy appeared to agree again while adding that Simpson was an underrated factor in that fabled team.

Morgan is currently working as a national scout for the Tricky Trees, while also serving as a City ambassador. He does regular punditry, holds a UEFA A license and sits on the Premier League's Black Participants' Advisory Group.
Vardy left Cremonese in June after a decent season personally yet amidst relegation. Now a free agent at 39, he's eyeing another season; whilst he conducts his show, Sao Paulo and West Ham United are linked.
