Shortly after lunchtime on Monday Leicester City’s players began to huddle around the centre circle of the King Power Stadium. It could almost have been a typical routine before kick‑off. Except that on this bleakest of autumnal days their heads were bowed as they stood statuesque and silent.
As the players watched, the club’s vice chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, laid a wreath on the centre circle as a tribute to the five people killed – including his father Vichai – in a helicopter crash after Leicester’s match against West Ham on Saturday. And then he went to each of his squad and quietly hugged them.
