Also reacting to the sudden death of the Foxes owner was Iheanacho who tweeted; “May the good Lord accept your soul rest on boss.”

Former player, Musa revealed in his twitter handle that Srivaddhanaprabha was a special man that won’t be forgotten in a hurry in the history of the club.

“Someone special, will Not be forgotten, wonderful memories will live on forever, Death can never take a good man away, in the hearts of people he inspired, the legacy remains and continuous throughout generations. He was a great man and father to many, may his soul RIP.”
