Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Rob Tanner and Jordan Halford to open up the Totally Extra Almanac in 2016 and celebrate Leicester's historic Premier League title, 10 years on.
From the sacking of Pearson and battling relegation to Richard III, Ranieri, pizzas and Bocelli - the Leicester title story had it all.
Underpinning Leicester's success was excellent investment with Vardy, Mahrez and Kante costing less than 8 million pounds and the squad barely getting injuries, meaning Ranieri could play the same eleven in most games.
Even still, the odds were stacked against them with the bookies making them 5000-1 before the season started. So just how did they do it? And could anyone ever do it again?
Plus 'On This Day' and Duncan's quiz question.
Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.
