Daniel Amartey, the defender who suffered a suspected broken ankle in the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday, also visited the memorial on crutches after undergoing surgery. He is expected to miss the rest of the season and only learned of Srivaddhanaprabha’s passing on Sunday after coming out of hospital.

Former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson, who kickstarted the Srivaddhanaprabha era by guiding the club to promotion in 2014, has written his own tribute.

Pearson is currently manager of Belgian club OH-Leuven, who are also owned by Srivaddhanaprabha’s Thai duty free giant King Power.

He wrote: “His quiet yet authoritative aura, presence and personality have had an immeasurable influence on English football.
