Following Tottenham’s draw on Monday night, the Premier League is all but over. I don’t want to jinx Leicester by saying they have won the title but not even a Steven Gerrard or John Terry slip could prevent them from completing the fairy tale.

Over the next few months, we will see a host of tribute pieces from journalists who will tell you that they never saw this coming (which they didn’t) but it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of players.

I take issue with that. I don’t want to be the grinch and burst the bubble but let’s face facts, some of the players who don the blue of Leicester have been in a spot of bother.

This isn’t a Solomon Hughes investigative piece like you would see on page 8 of the Star, everything you are about to read is available to the public.

It has been covered on the back pages of this paper, has been mentioned in previous columns of mine. However, the rest of the media has chosen to ignore the indiscretions of certain players to fit their narrative.

It started during Leicester’s “goodwill” pre-season tour of Thailand. Under the management of Nigel Pearson, three youth players, Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson — son of Nigel — were involved in a vile orgy with three Thai girls and then proceeded to racially abuse them.

The incident was recorded and the three players were rightly sacked from the club.

For reasons unknown, Nigel Pearson was unhappy with the decision and lost his job. It wasn’t a decision to fall on your sword and become a martyr yet that is what he did and it cost him a job.

In hindsight, it was the best thing that happened to the club as they hired Claudio Ranieri who has them on the brink of winning the league.

But just as the club were getting over this disgusting act, a video emerged of Jamie Vardy racially abusing a Japanese man.

In the video, you clearly see Vardy say: “Jap. Yo Jap. Walk on. Walk on . . . oi, walk on. Yeah you . . . Jap. Walk on.”

Vardy issued an apology but the issue was brushed under the carpet and forgotten about. It was brought up recently in an interview with Foxes fan Gary Lineker.

However, he played it off like it was nothing and said: “People make mistakes. They say stupid things. He did it and he apologised.”

Yes, people do make mistakes, but they don’t lead to saying racist things and until that attitude changes within football, it will always have a problem with racism.

Vardy has managed to deflect all criticism that has come his way since the racist incident, due largely to his goals and work rate.

But even when he has done wrong, his diving and verbal abuse of Jon Moss in the 3-3 draw against West Ham, he has had more defenders than criticisers.

England manager Roy Hodgson said he was unfairly treated by the referee and that “you take what a player brings” in regards to him exploding at the referee.

No, you don’t take what a player brings. You punish him accordingly and fix his behaviour.

Another issue that has been brushed under the carpet is Robert Huth’s Twitter conversations.

Huth is notoriously “fun” on social media but took it too far over Christmas when he took part in a bizarre game with another Twitter account which of posted sexual images of individuals and asked him to guess their gender.

It resulted in a two-match ban and a £15,000 fine. Players have done a lot worse on social media but Huth’s indecent remarks made the whole affair sickening.

And while it happened while he was playing for Stoke, it is still a blemish on his so-called clean record.

Same can be said of Danny Simpson. Simpson was spared jail early last year after he was convicted of strangling his ex-girlfriend and attempting to throttle her.

He was given community service and while he has been rightfully praised for his performances on the field, I haven’t seen too many articles questioning why Simpson is still at the club.

Just more looking the other way and waxing lyrical about how Leicester have defied the odds to sit atop the Premier League.

I’m not expecting every match report on Leicester to bring up these incidents but given how Luis Suarez was branded on the back pages towards the end of his Liverpool days, these players have got away with how they have behaved over the past few seasons.

I have no problem with neutrals loving Leicester and willing them towards the title.

Just before you buy next season’s Leicester shirt for your child, think about the player you are printing on the back.
