Why did he take a helicopter to games?

It is unclear as to why the Leicester owner used a helicopter to attend matches.

But it had become commonplace to see his blue copter on the centre circle once everyone had left.

Srivaddhanaprabha was a regular attendee at matches, having enjoyed the celebrations of their Premier League success in 2015.

What was the helicopter route?

It is believed that the 60-year-old travelled with his guests from London.

With over  100 miles from Leicester's ground, Srivaddhanaprabha had flown in instead of taking other modes of transport to return to the capital.

While it remains unknown as to his route thereafter, the airport links in London allowed the Thai billionaire to hop on a private jet.
