To put those huge odds into perspective, here are a selection of events that the bookies currently think are more likely to happen than they had last summer considered Leicester winning the title:

175/1 - Prince Harry to marry Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (aka Cheryl Cole)

200/1 - Theo Walcott to be Sports Personality of the Year

500/1 - Andy Murray's baby to win more majors than Serena Williams

1000/1 - Robbie Savage to be the next James Bond

1000/1 - Bono to be the next Pope

2000/1 - Kim Kardashian to be US President by 2020

All of these are considerably more likely than Leicester's triumph, apparently.
