The primary thoughts of everyone at the club are with the Srivaddhanaprabha family and the families of those on board in such a time of unspeakable loss.

In Khun Vichai, the world has lost a wonderful man, a man of kindness, generosity and a man whose life was so defined by the love he so devoted to his family and to those he led.

Leicester city was a family under his leadership and it’s a family will grieve his passing and maintain the pursuit of a vision for the club that is now his legacy.” Half of the statement read.

Leicester has cancelled their upcoming two fixtures in order to lay their respects to a man whose leadership at the club brought the the premiership trophy.
