Leicester City to Build Statue of Late Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha at King Power Stadium

Leicester City have announced plans to erect a statue of late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha at the King Power Stadium.

The Thai businessman was the victim of a tragic helicopter crash which claimed the lives of five individuals on Saturday 27th October after an attempt to leave the Foxes' home stadium following a 1-1 draw with West Ham.

The late Leicester City Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha will be immortalised at King Power Stadium through the commissioning of a memorial statue.
