Leicester City’s beloved owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha passed away in a fatal helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium a couple of days ago.
And since then the mood amongst the Foxes has been that of gloom and despair.

“The players and the football club deserve huge credit.
“Watching them, their solidarity and team spirit reminded me of their fairy tale Premier League title win in 2015/16.”
