Hornets fan group 1881 Movement displayed two banners paying tribute to late Foxes chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha during the Premier League game at the King Power Stadium.
It’s been a difficult few weeks at Leicester City, with everyone connected with the club having to come to terms with the tragic death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
The Thai businessman and four other people were killed when his helicopter crashed outside the King Power Stadium after a Premier League game on 27 October.
Srivaddhanaprabha’s death led to an outpouring of grief, not only within the local community, but the football world as a whole, as fans came together to honour his achievements.
On Saturday, Watford travelled to Leicester in the league, a game which the Foxes won 2-0 thanks to early goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison.
In the stands, a group of Hornets fans displayed two banners paying tribute to Leicester’s late chairman.
The 1881 Movement has raised £2,545 for two banners, one of which read: “Thank you Vichai for allowing us all to dream.”
The second banner remembered the four other victims of the crash – Kaveporn Punpare, Nusara Suknamai, Izabela Roza Lechowicz and Eric Swaffer.
Following the touching tribute, a number of Leicester fans took to Twitter to pay tribute to Watford’s fanbase for the gesture:
And as a thank you for their touching gesture, Leicester gave free food and drink to Watford’s fans at the game:
