  20. 'He is part of Leicester and always will be' - Leigh Herbertpublished at 12:47 Greenwich Mean Time 29 October 2018

    Leicester City super fan Leigh Herbert, who won £20,600 when he backed the club to win the Premier League has paid tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

    Herbert, whose 5000-1 bet came in back in 2016, has labelled the day the worst the club has ever seen.
