Leicester City star once hilariously mocked Jamie Carragher after winning Premier League title

Jose Mourinho named Ranieri above Premier League legends Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola when ranking their achievements.

The Italian created an unstoppable mentality inside the Leicester City dressing room as players who were rejected by big six clubs and signed for cheap fees wrote their names into the history books.

Goal machine Jamie Vardy fired them to the title alongside the fleet-footed Riyad Mahrez, while some other stars somewhat flew under the radar, including Danny Simpson.

Simpson was a mainstay in the starting lineup during the campaign, appearing 30 times at right-back after missing the first seven games of the season.

The former Manchester United academy graduate wasn’t the most flashy player, but he did the basics well and formed an incredible partnership with Mahrez down the right.
