LISTEN: Leicester fan’s tearful reaction to this season shows the beauty of football

Sometimes, nothing tugs on the heartstrings quite like football.

It can reduce grown men to tears, both in success and in failure, and this is no exception. Leicester City have embarked upon a remarkable turnaround, sitting top of the league at Christmas just 12 months after propping up the table. And it clearly means a great deal to one Foxes fan, who near enough broke down in tears after calling up the BBC's 606 phone-in. "This is the first thing I've seen anything like I've seen this season," he says. "All of a sudden my son's turned round and said to me, looked me in the eye and said 'Dad - amazing! Absolutely amazing!'" If this doesn't get you all emotional, then you must have a heart of stone.
