Leicester chief Aiyawatt: We're a global inspiration

Leicester City vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha feels they're a global inspiration.

The Foxes are celebrating winning a historic Premier League title this week.

"Is it a miracle? It is. It is inspirational and people talk about it. We set the standard of the sport and inspiration for the whole world," Srivaddhanaprabha told BBC Sport.

"It is not just for the sport, it is life. If people use Leicester as the standard now, if they fight, they try - then they can achieve one day. Everything has to be right as well.

"It is a miracle for the city, it is a miracle for the players but we have a job to do. They worked hard to be in this position. It is not just lucky.

"All the middle clubs in the team will try now as they are inspired by Leicester. They will believe so it will be more difficult for the big clubs and for Leicester to try again."
