Son Of Late Leicester City Boss Weeps At Crash Site After Missing Fatal Flight (Photos)

-



The devastated son of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha wept as he laid a wreath for his dad at the helicopter crash site today.
Aiyawatt had missed the flight on Saturday as he was in home in Thailand but is usually at his dad’s side at Leicester games in his role as vice chairman.
He wept as he lay a floral tribute today among of a sea of wreaths and well-wishes left by fans of the club. Aiyawatt put his head down deep in thought as he was joined by Vichai’s wife Aimon, who also sobbed as she looked at the memorial.
Known as “Top”, English-speaking Aiyawatt acts as an adviser to his dad and was also behind Leicester’s incredible Premiership win in 2016.
Srivaddhanaprabha’s helicopter came down in a car park behind the King Power Stadiumfollowing a Premier League game between Leicester and West Ham on Saturday.
Hero pilot Eric Swaffer was also killed as well as his co-pilot girlfriend Izabela Roza Lechowicz.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said inspectors have recovered the digital flight data recorder and they are continuing to investigate.
Srivaddhanaprabha’s eight-seat helicopter flew just 200m before nosediving to the ground in a car park behind the King Power Stadium. Vichai, 60, bought the club for £39 million in 2010 and led it to a first Premier League title in 2015-16 despite odds of 5,000-1.
The tragedy is being described as the “darkest day” in the club’s history, and mourners began laying wreaths near the stadium on Sunday morning.
Bouquets, flags and football shirts have been left outside the ground by members of the public on alongside a large image of the Hindu god Ganesh which was also propped up amidst the flowers.
Tributes have also flooded in from the footballing world with Leicester referring to their chairman as a “great man”.

PREMIER LEAGUE!! See The Arsenal Star That Is Preparing To Leave The Club After Refusing To Sign New Contract

Talks between Arsenal and midfielder Aaron Ramsey over a new contract have broken down. Ramsey’s existing deal expires on 30 June 2019 and the Gunners had been hopeful of tying up fresh terms. But negotiations have stopped and, barring an unlikely resumption, the 27-year-old will be sold in January or become a free agent next summer. As things stand, the Welshman will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from 1 January. Ramsey joined the Gunners in 2008 in a £4.8m move from hometown club Cardiff City. He is Arsenal’s longest-serving player and scored the winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 FA Cup finals. Ramsey was an 84th-minute substitute in the Gunners’ 3-1 defeat of Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Former Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has said that he never should have joined Chelsea. The former striker also threw a dig at Antonio Conte, the manager who exiled him before he moved to Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window in 2017. Costa spent four successful seasons in the Spanish capital before signing for Chelsea in 2014 for a transfer fee of £32million. In his four years at Stamford Bridge, Costa won two Premier League titles and the League Cup. His Chelsea career came to an acrimonious end last summer after being told by Conte via text message that he did not have a future at the club. “It was a very bad moment, but it wasn’t my fault,” Costa told Marca. “People said things, but time puts everything in its place; look where the coach is, look at Conte. “I was wrong going to Chelsea, because of their way of dealing with things. Cholo [Atletico coach Diego Simeone] is a direct coach, and when he doesn’t love you, it’s clear and he shows it. “At ...

Eden Hazard To Miss Chelsea’s Europa League Clash Against PAOK For This Reason

   Maurizio Sarri has left Eden Hazard out of Chelsea’s travelling 21-man squad for their Europa League group-stage opener at PAOK Salonika. The Belgian forward, 27, scored a hat-trick against Cardiff at the weekend but has not made the trip to Greece. However, the likes of Gary Cahill, Cesc Fabregas and Ethan Ampadu should all come into consideration. Wales midfielder Ampadu, 18, signed a new five-year contract with the Blues on Wednesday. Fabregas, 31, has not started a game for Chelsea since their Community Shield defeat by Manchester City. But the Spanish midfielder returned to training last week after struggling with a knee injury. England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek may also feature if he has recovered fully from a problem with his right tibia that kept him out against the Bluebirds. Chelsea Squad: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero, Marcin Bulka, Toni Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Pedro, Ruben Loftus...
