What happens next to Leicester City Football Club after sudden loss of Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha?
Saturday evening after the game West Ham United vs Leicester City, it was a norm for Vichai to get home via helicopter, but this time the chairman never made it home. The helicopter crashed in the club’s car park.
One of Leicester City’s biggest fans and Journalist Lee Marlow had a lot to say about this event. He was at the game and expressed his feelings to us about how he thought the two teams had played. Because they weren’t playing to his expectations once the finial whistle had been blown he was out of his seat and left the stadium.
This was common for most of the fans and because the match finished with a 1-1 draw the moral was already low.
Once hearing the news about Vichai’s death there was distress to players, fans and the community as a whole.
We had a chat with Lee Marlow to see what he had to say.
We first asked him about his relationship with Leicester City.
He’s been a huge fan of the club since the age of 8 and he used to work with Leicester Mercury and in the past wrote match reports, big feature interviews, even taken part as being the mascot for the team.
So he was heavily involved with the team, and considers the team as part of his family.
Being a life long supporter he has been with the club through it up and down, range of chairman’s. Marlow sung Vichai’s praises.
He believes without Vichai there is a possibility the team may have never been so successful. This isn’t just because he put loads of money into the club but he also contributed to the city.
