Daily Mail | November 10, 2018

It looked like the first snow of winter — as if the seats in the King Power Stadium had been covered in a soft, white blanket cast from the heavens.

The 30,000 scarves handed out to Leicester fans were being held aloft as part of an immaculate, two-minute silence before kick-off.

But amid the quietness, the message was deafening. 'Mr Chairman' said the black stitching on one side of the fabric. 'Forever in our hearts' read the other.
