MARTIN SAMUEL: Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was Leicester's miracle man
Daily MailVichai Srivaddhanaprabha pictured wearing a Leicester City scarf in October 2015 It was one of the most evocative, yet strangely incongruous, sights in football. The popular owner helped Leicester defy huge odds to win the Premier League title in 2016 Travel by helicopters, by light aircraft, has grown much more commonplace as football's wealth has increased. The full extent of the tragedy was still emerging on Sunday, but what is now known is that five are dead and one of them is Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, Leicester's owner and, as such, the man who made English football's greatest miracle happen. So, yes, Buddhist monks would perform blessings and the victory parade after Leicester's title win saw banners of Thailand's king being given equal billing to the trophy, but Leicester remained the Foxes, stayed blue, ran out to the Post Horn Gallop as they had always done. Football supporters and well-wishers gathered at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Sunday Dismissing Claudio Ranieri, the manager in that epic title-winning season, less than 12 months after it had been achieved, may be the most polarising call of any owner in the Premier League era.
