    Vine appealed for a "Leicester dad and daughter" to join him and his 12-year-old daughter Martha ahead of the Foxes' last game of the season at Chelsea.

    The BBC radio host, a Chelsea fan, said he wanted to chat about the title win.

    Vine blogged about the meeting and said Colin and Charlotte Hood spoke about "the team spirit and great footballers" that clinched the title and Colin praised previous manager, Nigel Pearson.
