Odds against Fahey repeating day that was the stuff of dreams

Whisper it quietly should any Leicester City fans be listening, but sporting miracles rarely repeat themselves.

It is early days but the fact that, whatever their heroics at Bruges, last season's 5,000-1 Premier League champions start Saturday on the edge of the relegation zone is a bad sign for anyone who backed them in 2015-16 and let their winnings ride.

History is against a shock happening twice. FA Cup giant-killers Hereford may have famously knocked top-flight Newcastle out in 1972 but they were eliminated from the following year's competition by Torquay.
