Leicester whiz Demerai Gray watches Birmingham U21s after surviving chopper shocker

Leicester City winger Demarai Gray was back in Birmingham last night.

Gray watched Blues under-21s in action last night, says the Birmingham Mail.

Gray had a lucky escape during a helicopter ride with his Leicester City team-mates on Sunday when he nearly strolled into a whizzing rotor blade.

The flying winger's worrying moment came at London's Battersea Heliport after the Foxes players were dropped off ahead of the PFA Awards at Grosvenor House.

The 19-year-old, who left Blues to join Leicester for £3.75 million in January, swapped Sunday night's star-studded ceremony to cheer on his former Blues under-21 pals against Watford at St Andrew's last night.
