Ranieri calls his team Forrest Gump
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri has labelled the surprise leaders as the Premier League's Forrest Gump.
Ranieri's side are in first place at Christmas just 12 months after being bottom of the table and the former Chelsea boss wants Leicester to maintain their pace at the top, likening their stamina to Tom Hanks' film character Forrest Gump, who ran across America.
"I am very confident because Leicester, last season, saved themselves in the last two months and that means the stamina is fantastic. Why can't we continue to run, run, run? We are like Forrest Gump" the colourful Italian said.
