The 2010-11 campaign delivered a season of dramatic turmoil and an amazing revival for Leicester City as The Foxes, under the mid-season arrival of manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, rose spectacularly from the foot of the Championship table to finish a respectable 10th place. Eriksson's attacking brand of football saw the team briefly flirt with the play-offs, falling just short in a thrilling second half of the season. Leading the charge was the clinical midfielder Andy King, whose 15 league goals proved decisive alongside the crucial contributions of Player of the Year Richie Wellens. It was a pivotal year that marked the beginning of the club's modern era under new Thai ownership and remains a defining chapter of The Foxes' dramatic journey.
