Football Cubs episode 35 - Richard III!
Yep, that's the reason for Leicester's success this year - the ghost of King Richard III!
Football primer: 12 months ago, Leicester were firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table and looked certain to be relegated. Then two things happened - the remains of Richard III, which had been rediscovered under a car park in Leicester, were formally re-buried in Leicester Cathedral, and at the same kind of time, Leicester City suddenly started winning a whole lot of football games!
People have tried to make a connection, but it's kind of hard to come up with a good reason why. It's not like Richard even had anything to do with Leicester; it was just the nearest city to the place he died. He would probably have preferred to be buried in his ancestral homeland of York, and their local football team really need the help right now - York City are languishing at the bottom of League Two (the fourth level of English football) and look certain to be relegated to the National League (level five).
Also, Leicester's assistant manager is called Craig Shakespeare, no relation (probably) to the writer of the famous play about Richard III...

If you hide under the bedsheets, someone might think that YOU'RE the ghost. Then they'll call a priest who will make you exercise. My mom and dad watched a movie about it once. They made me go to bed before any of the good parts though, so I don't have all the details. But they have special priests that exercise ghosts and stuff. It doesn't sound like much fun.
