Leicester City Reward Fans for Support in 2015 with Free Beer

If any team has reason to celebrate in 2015, it is Leicester City.

The Foxes were bottom of the Premier League at Christmas last year but entered the 2015 festive period as unlikely leaders.

Now the club's owners have acknowledged the role the fans have played in their rise with some free booze.

"During Leicester's home game against Manchester City on Tuesday, December 29, owners Vichai and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha have made sure each home fan will be given a bottle of beer on arrival at the King Power Stadium," wrote Joe Prince-Wright of NBC Sports.

And sure enough they delivered, as fans gladly accepted their complimentary drinks ahead of the highly-anticipated clash.

It's not the first time fans of the Foxes have benefited from such generosity.

They also got a free drink at the final home game of last season after Leicester survived relegation.

Now what happens if they go on to win the league this season?
