Kasper Schmeichel said he was proud to be part of the Leicester "family" after the club in their first match since the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
The Foxes won 1-0 at Cardiff on Saturday on a hugely emotional occasion, as they were paid to Srivaddhanaprabha and the others killed in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium a week earlier.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel is one of the leaders of the Welsh capital, but he is the owner of the game.
"It has been a hard time, but everyone wanted to play and win for his family." Dane told the BBC's Match of the Day program.
"I feel just an overwhelming sense of pride in being part of the Vichai family and extended family of Leicester City."
Schmeichel and other Foxes players, plus manager Claude Puel, were due in Thailand on Sunday to pay their respects to Srivaddhanaprabha before returning on Tuesday.
"It was nice to get a win to take over Thailand and hopefully we did his proud family," Schmeichel said.
"You could not ask for a better chairman." There are few people who have come out of this world.
"Everybody's in different ways and the opportunity has been given to us and we want to go."
Demarai Gray scored the only goal in the 55th minute in Cardiff to earn Leicester the points, and removed his shirt to reveal a tribute to Srivaddhanaprabha.
