Leicester's Wes Morgan shares Premier League ironman standard
If making the PFA Team of the Year and winning a miraculous Premier League title wasn't enough for Leicester City skipper Wes Morgan, his 90 minutes Sunday at Chelsea etched his name in the annals of top-flight history once more.
The Jamaican international centre-back became just the third outfield player in Premier League history to play every minute of every match for a title-winning side.

Morgan, 32, joins two other defenders, Gary Pallister and John Terry, on a short list of players to be on the pitch for every minute of a club's league-winning campaign.
Pallister did so in 1992-93 with Manchester United, who like the Foxes, won the league that year by a 10-point margin. Fellow centre-half Terry did so last season in winning his fourth title with Chelsea.
