Horses for courses. If it was such a level playing field back then, surely the feat that Forest managed would be replicated more often - rather than never ?!
Likewise I'm sure Leicesters achievement will not be replicated anytime soon.

What do you mean never? Remember we are discussing Leicester winning the Premier league - so up until this season there were 5 winners of the Premiership in 23 seasons. In the previous 23 seasons when it was the 1st division there were 7 winners of which Villa and Forest won one each and Derby and Leeds 2 each. I don't recall anything in the 1977/78 season that Forest won being comparable to the amazement created by Leicester's win this season.

Edit - a few more stats. In the last 12 seasons just 5 teams have filled 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Premiership. In the 12 seasons before the Premiership began there were 14 different names.
