Leicester loves you more than you know...

A note from Nathen: "The photos in this post and the text below played such a large part in my last eight months, that they felt almost too private to share.

I captured the images below on film in order to preserve one of the most genuine outpourings of love I had ever witnessed in my life. And, yet, once I looked back through them, it felt almost wrong to post them on the internet. Now that the 2018/2019 football season is over and our wounds have had some time to heal, I wanted to look back fondly on a man that did so much for so many and will always have a place amongst us.

The words below are my personal entry into Khun Vichai's book of condolences, as written on November 2, 2018 in Leicester, England.

KHUN VICHAI,

In the great butterfly effect of life, your decision to give everything you had to this small English town gave everything to me. I never once considered that my desperation in looking for a job in football would lead me to Leicester. I never could have dreamed that I would be given the opportunity to experience the greatest sports story of all time first hand.

Everything you did, you did with meaning and class. You allowed a population, a city, a fanbase and a community to dream. You gave ... every football fan— Leicester or not— renewed hope and meaning.
