Leicester City FC has unveiled a Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha statue on what would have been the late chairman’s 64th birthday. 

Construction began at the beginning of March just outside the Leicester City fanstore.

The club unveiled the statue at a ceremony yesterday(MON,APR4).

Many familiar faces were in attendance including former managers Nigel Pearson and Claudio Ranieri, plus ex-players Andy King and Christian Fuchs, who made the trip across the Atlantic from where he is playing in the USA for Charlotte FC.

For many Leicester City fans their first opportunity to catch a glimpse of the statue will be at the Europa Conference League semi-final against PSV Eindhoven this Thursday (APR7).
