Leicester pay heartwarming tribute to Craig Shakespeare ahead of Premier League return against Tottenham following former manager's death aged 60 earlier this month

Leicester have paid tribute to their former manager Craig Shakespeare ahead of their Premier League return against Tottenham.

Shakespeare, who was assistant to Claudio Ranieri during Leicester's incredible Premier League title success in 2015-16, passed away earlier this month aged 60 following a battle with cancer.

Ahead of the game at the King Power Stadium on Monday night, Leicester's Jamie Vardy and former Foxes player James Maddison, now of Tottenham, both laid flowers in memory of Shakespeare. Wes Morgan, the captain of Leicester's 2016 side, also paid tribute to Shakespeare.
