He really turned the fortunes of that team around, and was a benevolent and generous giver in the community, wrote off hundreds of pounds of Leicester City's debt, donated millions to hospitals and charities in the community and made 2016 a year all Leicester fans will never forget in history.

The man will forever be etched in the memories of Leicester's fans and the lives he touched.

He will surely be missed.

Blame it on PMB
