Jose Ragoobeer, whose wife and two sons were killed in an explosion in Leicester earlier this year, has paid heartfelt tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and his family.
The billionaire Thai businessman, who bought Leicester City in 2010, was among five people who died in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Ragoobeer held back tears as he praised the work of the Srivaddhanaprabha family in Leicester. He said: ‘They’ve done good things for the community … I myself, I recently lost my wife and sons in a fire and they’ve been good to me. They’ve been very supportive. They even gave me the hall for the wake and it’s a big, big shock for me.’
