Leicester fall silent in honour of late Thai owner Vichai

Leicester City fans fell silent on Saturday in a heartfelt tribute to late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha before the first home match since he was killed in a helicopter crash two weeks ago.

A special "Tribute to Khun Vichai" video was shown on big screens before kick-off against Burnley, two weeks after the tragedy, which took place moments after the helicopter had taken off from the pitch at the King Power Stadium.

A huge banner was unfurled reading: "Khun Vichai, Forever in our Hearts."
"He's a legend."
"I think football can learn from him and the way he gave to the local community."

His son Aiyawatt, the club's vice-chairman who is known as Top, wrote in Saturday's match programme: "We will never be able to repay what he did for us -- for me as his son, us as his family, everyone connected to Leicester City and beyond -- but we are committed to honouring his memory and upholding his legacy."
Manager Claude Puel wrote: "He (Vichai) may not be here in person today but he will be here in spirit and we will carry his essence in our hearts."
"I saw it all happen. It is something that will stay with me, unfortunately."
