At the start of the season, they were 5000-1 outsiders. But, now, Leicester City is just one win away from making history by winning their first ever Premier League trophy.

For the past three years, monks have been travelling from Thailand to the English midlands to bless the Leicester City Football Club.

One monk in particular is credited with turning the club into an unstoppable football force. 

He said the players were somewhat taken aback by their first meeting, but warmed up to the concept.
