WATCH: Leicester City, Cardiff City honor Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Qdr0apkvmnd_
Prior to Leicester City's match against Cardiff City, the two sides paid tribute to Leicester's late owner and chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha with a moment of silence.

The tragic deaths of five, including Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, shook the football world last weekend.

The Foxes returned to the field on Saturday with heavy hearts, honoring their late owner along with hosts Cardiff City.

Srivaddhanaprabha’s funeral began earlier Saturday in Bangkok.

The minute’s silence was moving, with nothing audible save a few coughs and a windy Cardiff City Stadium.

A wreath was laid at midfield, as Leicester’s entire team formed a half-circle on their side of midfield.

Former Leicester City winger Anthony Knockaert (below) wore a tribute to Srivaddhanaprabha on his warm-up ahead of Brighton’s match at Leicester.
