Leicester City this season have defied the odds to come within touching distance of winning their first ever Premier League or League title for the matter. Needing just three points from their remaining three games, Leicester have surprised Premier League audiences the world over.
The odds for Leicester winning the title (as per betting site Ladbrokes) at the beginning of the season were 5000/1, making it officially less likely for Leicester winning the title than British Prime Minister David Cameron becoming manager of Aston Villa (2500/1), Playboy founder Hugh Hefner admitting he is a virgin (1000/1) and Sir Alex Ferguson winning dance show, Strictly Come Dancing.

While Leicester becoming champions of England is now almost a foregone conclusion, it was not the case back in January for that matter. Combined with the odds, it led to people making ridiculous promises they must now keep when Leicester finally lift the title. There is a website that has begun documenting them.

The trend began with former Leicester player Gary Lineker promising to present the first Match of the Day of next season on television in nothing but his undies. If he does insist on putting the viewers through the ordeal, it is hoped that the undies are clean. Given his history.
We aren’t the only ones hoping they’re clean. As per his ex-wife Danielle Bux,
N’Golo Kante has been called a dynamo, running around chasing the ball with boundless energy. If @AfterYourJob does keep his promise, Kante might have to use his energies in running away from something for a change.
Running naked seems to be the new trend to celebrate an unlikely event in the football world. Such a move is welcome if you are Piers Morgan who says he’ll do it in the highly unlikely event of Giroud scoring against Barcelona (odds of which are possibly higher than Leicester winning the league).
Not sure this would be a pleasant sight @adamward2015 but it might be difficult to follow through on your promise.
While the refugee crisis is all about Iraqis and Syrians moving into Europe, here is someone who will have to go the other way, giving up his settled and peaceful life. This one will be a difficult promise to keep.
Don't say you were not warned. You are going to lose a lot of business.
People also resorted to vowing to play with their food habits.
@JoeFlet has promised to make good on the idiom “eat a hat” usually used to describe disbelief.
The next one is just not going to happen.It sounds impossible as Leicester winning the league.
Egghead
Buddhist monks at the King Power have had a huge effect on the fortunes of Leicester City FC. Such success must be tempting.
The wall that you neighbour can never jump over.
Leicester need three points to win the title. They will win it if they win at Old Trafford on Sunday or if Tottenham lose to Chelsea in Monday night's late kickoff.
