Many people have made the connection. In all the years that Richard III was buried beneath the car park in Leicester, the Foxes never came close to any sort of success but the minute he was dug up they shot to the top of the table.

I'm sceptical. After all, they never won any titles before Richard III died, did they? I think this is a case of a beautiful theory being ruined by an ugly fact.
