The United Kingdom pauses now.

A billion pair of eyes in all parts of the world join.

In the bush and the Outback, in New Delhi and New York, in the Middle Kingdom and in the desert, shopkeepers and saloon keepers, street sweepers and snake charmers, bushmen and businessmen and royal all pause now and look to north west England. To the Second City. As they have done so many times before. Not to the Etihad Stadium this time but to the Theater of Dreams, not to see one of the Mancunian giants lift another trophy, aye, for a very different reason now.

To see a miracle on grass.

They pause and they turn and they look toward Manchester to see if Leicester City Football Club, 5,000-1, can win the English Premier League with victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.  "Do you believe in miracles? Yesss!" 

The miracle on grass begins now.
