A 5,000-to-1 longshot that won the league, then dug a king out of a parking lot.
means A city in the East Midlands of England, also the name of a county (Leicestershire), a type of cheese (Red Leicester), and a breed of sheep.
from From the Old English "Ligora-ceaster," stitching together the name of a local people or river (the "Ligore") with "ceaster" — the Anglo-Saxon borrowing of Latin "castra," meaning a Roman camp or fort. That "-cester" ending haunts dozens of British place names (Gloucester, Worcester, Cirencester), each one marking a spot where Roman legions once dug in. The English then proceeded to file the whole word down to a brisk "LES-ter," because pronouncing every letter was apparently too much to ask.
