Leicester boss Puel thanks Watford fans for special Vichai tribute

Leicester City boss Claude Puel thanked Watford fans for their tribute to late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha on Saturday.

Watford supporter group, The 1881 Movement, chose to pay their respects to Srivaddhanaprabha by displaying a banner. A gofundme page, which was set up by Roy Moore, saw the initial target smashed so much that a second banner was made in tribute to the other victims of the crash, Kaveporn Punpare, Nusara Suknamai, Izabela Rosa and Eric Swaffer.

Prior to kick-off, the 1881 also confirmed more than £1,700 would be donated to charity.

Foxes boss Puel said: “I would like to thank the Watford fans for the banner. I think it's fantastic support for our chairman's family. I would like to thank a lot the Watford fans."
