It seems like it belongs to a different world, not just a different era, when Claudio Ranieri's heroes upset the odds to win the Premier League title.
These days winning a Premier League game would be nice.
But as Ruud van Nistelrooy's team struggles for any kind of positivity and seems destined for an immediate return to the Championship, LeicestershireLive catches up with the Leicester City players who won it all.
Kasper Schmeichel
He's still City's first-choice goalkeeper and has now passed a decade at the club, with his tally of 465 appearances the third-highest in the club's history. During the past few years his reputation has continued to soar, especially because of his heroics with Denmark, helping them to reach the semi-finals at Euro 2020. He is now at Celtic
Ben Hamer
Hamer, who did not play a single Premier League match during the title-winning campaign, has been turning out in the Championship since leaving City in 2018. He is now at Sheffield Wednesday but has not played this season after joining from Watford.
Mark Schwarzer
The Australian, having won back-to-back titles with Chelsea then City, retired in 2016. Now, aged 52, he works as a pundit, and is prominent on British and Australian TV.
Ritchie De Laet
City's first-choice right-back before Danny Simpson took on the role, De Laet moved on loan to Middlesbrough and ended up winning the Premier League title and earning promotion from the Championship. And he has enjoyed a varied career since leaving City, taking in Aston Villa, Melbourne City, and his hometown club Royal Antwerp. He now plays Masters football.
Danny Simpson
After five years of service, Simpson was released by City in the summer of 2019, with Ricardo Pereira having taken his right-back spot and with James Justin also arriving. He signed for Huddersfield, but left after less than a season, and then teamed up with Nigel Pearson again at Bristol City. He eventually retired last summer and is now trying his hand at boxing.
Wes Morgan
After a superb career, City's title-winning skipper retired last summer after persistent back trouble, but not before helping the club win the FA Cup, his final touch in professional football a header to clear his lines in the final at Wembley. Now, he's doing a spot of punditry.
Robert Huth
Released in the summer of 2018 after an injury-hit final campaign, the big German briefly trained with former side Stoke before announcing his retirement in January 2019. After saying he had become "fed up" of football, he recently returned to do commentary at a City game.
Marcin Wasilewski
A take-no-prisoners centre-half, Wasilewski's four-year spell with City came to an end in 2017, and he returned to his native Poland to join Wisla Krakow. He made it to 40 before retiring in November 2020. He is now a pundit.
Yohan Benalouane
He was Claudio Ranieri's joint-first signing, along with N'Golo Kante, but Benalouane spent most of the title-winning season on loan at Fiorentina. The Tunisian came back and started in both Champions League quarter-final legs against Atletico Madrid, but quickly returned to the fringes, and joined East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in January 2019. He was with Greek side Aris, with his last club Serie C side Novara. Has not played since 2023.
Christian Fuchs
Three years after saying he would move to the States to rejoin his family there, the fan favourite left-back finally did head to the US joining MLS club Charlotte FC as captain. He is now assistant manager to Dean Smith.

Danny Drinkwater
It's all went downhill for Drinkwater. He barely played at Chelsea following his £35m switch to Stamford Bridge, then struggled to get into the Burnley side when on loan at Turf Moor. He had a loan at Aston Villa, but failed to impress again, while a brief stint in Turkey with Kasimpasa didn't go well either. He retired in 2023.
N'Golo Kante
An inspired signing, Kante's City career lasted just one season, and he went on to become one of the most-renowned defensive midfielders in world football. A £32m signing for Chelsea, Kante won the title, and player of the year, in his first campaign at the club, then lifted the World Cup with France in 2018. He is now with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
Andy King
A true club icon, King's time as a Leicester player ended after more than 15 years in the summer of 2020. A brief spell with City's sister club OH Leuven didn't work out, so he returned to England and joined Nigel Pearson at Bristol City. He is back at the King Power as part of Ruud van Nistelrooy's back-room team.
Daniel Amartey
His seven years at City ended after relegation in 2023 when he was released. He had made 145 appearances for the Foxes. He was released by Beşiktaş last September.
Gokhan Inler
Remember him? Swiss international Inler was intended to be the Esteban Cambiasso replacement that would become a key man in City's midfield, but he ended up playing second fiddle to Drinkwater and Kante. Leaving City after one season, he has since won two Turkish titles with Besiktas and Istanbul Basaksehir. He is now technical director at Udinese.
Matty James
A knee ligament tear prevented him from playing in any games during the title-winning season, and injuries continued to hinder him even as his quality allowed him to revive his City career under Craig Shakespeare and Claude Puel. Since then, he has proven his fitness, becoming a favourite with both Coventry, and Bristol City. He is now at Wrexham and is a regular as they try to win promotion from League One.
Marc Albrighton
The winger joined from Aston Villa and spent ten years at City, with a period on loan at West Brom. He stuck around to help the club win the Championship in 2023/24 but is now retired and working as a pundit.
Riyad Mahrez
One of the most talented, awe-inspiring players to ever wear a Leicester shirt, the tricky Algerian finally got his desired move away in 2018, joining Manchester City for £60m. He soured his reputation with his former club by saying he "lost" two years of his career at the King Power Stadium, but he certainly hasn't lost any of his talent, helping Man City win the title four times. He is now at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli
Jeff Schlupp
Academy graduate Schlupp lasted just a few more months as a City player following the title win, and joined Crystal Palace for £12m in January 2017. There, he continued to show his versatility, playing left-back, central midfield, and on the wings, while also becoming somewhat of a Selhurst Park cult figure. He was linked with a return to City in the January transfer window but instead opted for a loan to Celtic.
Demarai Gray
After five years of not quite progressing how he was expected to, and having frustrated supporters and managers alike with his decision-making in attacking areas, Gray moved on. His time at Bayer Leverkusen didn't go to plan, but was a partial hit at Everton. In September 2023 he signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq.

Nathan Dyer
Despite his valuable cameos on loan in 2015-16, Dyer went straight back to Swansea and continued in south Wales until he decided to hang up his boots in 2021.
Joe Dodoo
His hat-trick at Bury on debut earned him one brief Premier League outing at Bournemouth in 2015-16, but he left for Rangers at the end of the campaign. His career in Glasgow never took off, and he's been around the block since with Doncaster and Burton Albion. He launched a football coaching YouTube channel.
Jamie Vardy
Aged 38 and still defying the odds, Vardy remains City's number one striker because he keeps on scoring goals. He has seven in the Premier League this season. He was part of the team which went down in 2023, and which came back up last season. It's a struggle for everyone this term though.
Shinji Okazaki
Vardy's support man during the title triumph, Okazaki's importance gradually dwindled before he was let go in the summer of 2019. He did join Malaga, but financial problems cut that deal very short, and he instead signed for their Spanish second division rivals Huesca, where he won the title. The year after saw them relegated and Okazaki let go. He signed for Cartagena in Spain's second tier, and eventually retired at the end of last season as a Sint-Truiden player.
Leonardo Ulloa
He left City to move to Mexico, but then return to Spain, where he had initially made his name. He spent a couple of years with Rayo Vallecano and hasn't played since 2021. He became involved in Madrid-based desserts company Sweet Monkey.
Andrej Kramaric
While it never worked out for Kramaric at Leicester, he has consistently banged in the goals since moving to Hoffenheim where he remains a key player in the Bundesliga. He helped Croatia to the World Cup final in 2018.
