'Champions of England, you made us sing that': Leicester City fans sing in tribute to owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Alex Young @alexwsyoung31 October 2018

This is the moment Leicester City fans sang in unison on Tuesday evening in tribute to owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, one of five who died in Saturday's helicopter crash.

Vichai, as part of a consortium, purchased the club in 2010 and helped their meteoric rise from 10th in the Championship to 5,000-1 Premier League winners just six years later.

Leicester subsequently qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history, beating the likes of Porto and Sevilla on the way to a quarter-final loss to Atletico Madrid.

Hundreds of fans have visited King Power Stadium in the days since the crash to lay flowers and pay their respects, with a group on Tuesday evening singing: "Champions of England, you made us sing that."

Tributes will be made to those who lost their lives at every Premier League match this weekend, with a minute'S silence being observed and black armbands worn.

Leicester have decided to play their away game at Cardiff City, having previously postponed Tuesday's League Cup fourth-round tie with Southampton.
