The unorthodox approach of King Leonidas wasn't for everyone, but it had certainly endeared The Spartans FC to the Scottish football neutrals. Leonidas' relentless focus on players with high aggression, bravery, composure, concentration, determination, positioning, stamina, strength and work rate in a bid to build a Spartan Army had seen the club rise from League 2 to the Premiership in nine years.
Even for a manager who thrived on succeeding when presented with challenging situations, this was a mission impossible. The inspirational attitude and unwavering Spartan ethos of manager King Leonidas had led his unfancied charges into the cinch Championship for the 2026/27 campaign.
King Leonidas launched into a rallying cry that concluded: "This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny, and usher in a future brighter than anything we can imagine." And his pumped up players issued a rally call of "HA-OOOH!"
The people of Edinburgh expected carnage, and carnage they received. King Leonidas led a wild rampage around the Scottish capital, dragging an army of Spartans FC players, staff and fans on a messy bar crawl across the city to celebrate the club's back-to-back promotions and first-ever taste of tier three football.
