The helicopter of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has crashed outside the King Power Stadium following the Premier League game against West Ham. Leicester City chairman Mr Srivaddhanaprabha died in the horror helicopter crash. Former Leicester City player Riyad Mahrez, who is currently playing for Manchester City, has paid tribute to the late chairman by raising his hands to the heaven when he scored against Tottenham last night (1-0). And Mahrez admits he owes a lot to the late billionaire. "It has been very, very difficult for me," he said after the game. "It is not easy to have this type of stuff. "The Boss was very special to me. I spent four-and-a-half years there and have many memories with him. He was such a good person. "I am very, very sad. That is why when I scored I put my hands in the sky for him. "He did a lot for me and Leciester and it is difficult to speak about. It it is very sad. "He was like a dad. He was very special. "He was such a good person, a big heart and it was heart-breaking and shocking for me to hear this news and for all of the other people who died with him. "It is a difficult situation. I am with Leicester and the family of the victims." Asked how long it took Mahrez to decide if he would play tonight, he said: "I always wanted to play. "I know he would have wanted me to play. He was passionate about football. "It was difficult (to play against Tottenham) but I kept thinking about him. It was difficult to sleep as well."
