Cooper pays tribute to Khun Vichai on anniversary

Leicester boss Steve Cooper has paid tribute to former Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

It is six years since the chairman died when his helicopter crashed as it left the King Power Stadium, following a 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Nusara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare - and pilots and partners Eric Swaffer and Izabela Roza Lechowicz - also died in the accident.

Under Khun Vichai, who bought the club in 2011, the Foxes stunned the game by winning the Premier League in 2016 for one of the greatest sporting achievements, having started the season as 5,000-1 outsiders.
