Leicester pay tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha ahead of Cardiff match

Tributes were paid to late Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Cardiff City, following the helicopter crash that killed the Thai businessman and four other people last weekend.

Srivaddhanaprabha was killed along with Nusara Suknamai, Kaveporn Punpare, Izabela Roza Lechowicz and pilot Eric Swaffer when the helicopter they were travelling in appeared to lose control shortly after taking off from the King Power Stadium following the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
