Leicester City clinched the league title courtesy of Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Monday, overcoming odds of 5000-1 in doing so and capturing attention around the globe.

The leading UK crisp manufacturer has close ties with the East Midlands city, with former Foxes favourite Gary Lineker the long-running face of the brand, and it has revelled in the Foxes' rise this term.

Walkers previously recognised striker Jamie Vardy for scoring in a record 11th consecutive Premier League match with limited edition "Vardy Salted" bags, and have also tweaked their cheese and onion bags in homage to Leicester.

Caribbean rum brand Captain Morgan also latched onto the success of Claudio Ranieri's side, rehashing its label to work as a tribute to club captain Wes Morgan.

The Foxes look to take another chip out of the Premier League's old guard in its match against Everton on Saturday.
