There were lovely scenes ahead of Claudio Ranieri’s first post-title win press conference today when the assembled media arose to give the Leicester City manager a heartfelt standing ovation upon his arrival.
The wonderful moment was captured by BBC Sport’s Dan Roan…

However, it’s little wonder that the journos were so loved-up – turns out they were all half-cut by the time Ranieri turned up on the scene…
