Heartbreaking. 

[TheUltimateWinner]

Oh god that's horrible to watch  The whole of Leicester and the footballing world is with you Top. 

[deejdeej]

Wow that has hit me hard. 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Cant they just leave them to grieve in peace rather than sticking a camera in front of them? The constant need for updates disgusts me to be honest. 

[TrentFox]

Can anyone watching that honestly expect this club to be mentally prepared to travel to South Wales and play a competitive match in just 4 days time? How has that match not been postponed? 

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

They are one of our own, we need them as much as they need us to support them. We are a family of foxes

Me too.

It sums up their mentality as a family and people, despite what must have been a heart wrenching thing to do... Top still carefully steps around all of the flowers and scarves placed on the ground. Even in the most horrific of circumstances, he is mindful of others and their contributions. What a gent, what a family. 

[Mok]

That hit me hard also, the media spotlight must be really difficult for them

Cardiff have already said that they will offer any support they can in terms of the weekends fixture.

 

Bluebirds chief executive Ken Choo said on Sunday morning: “Following Saturday evening’s terrible events at King Power Stadium, the thoughts and feelings of Leicester City FC are at the forefront of our minds.

"As such, we will be offering our support to Leicester City in any way necessary in respect of next weekend’s scheduled fixture.”

The matter is in Leicester's hands and they would need to speak to the Premier League and the Bluebirds about any possible postponement.

[SemperEadem]

That is tough viewing.

[UniFox21]

Saw a picture of him stood there looking at all the tributes put out, it's honestly incredible how much support football can give.

Heart wrenching

[TiffToff88]

I managed to hold it together through everything that's happened this weekend, nearly lost it listening to Nessun Dorma on radio Leicester this morning, but this clip is what's finally pushed me over the edge

I hope Top finds strength from all the love and respect for his father, which also extends to him as he has been just as integral to the club's success.

 

I can't imagine the strength it's going to take for him to continue working at the King Power stadium, knowing that 100 yards away, his father died in a tragic accident. I'm not sure I'd have the strength to do it.

 

It's all hugely upsetting.

F**k. This is going to sting for a very long time. Watching this hurts. A lot.

Wanted to say that also

 

times Like this bring the reality of life to you. That video isn’t of a billionaire football owners son (how we usually see him). it’s of a man who is devastated to have lost his father. Just like any of us would be

It's going to be awful for them all for quite some time. On the flip side, the outpouring of emotion towards him and them will continue, they'll receive a huge amount of love and respect when they do come down, which will hopefully be a source of comfort to them eventually. Hopefully they find it a place of celebration than anything else.

I agree.

I think with the sheer support from fans/clubs/players, whether linked with Leicester or not, is something that will live long in the memory for them. I'd hope, and think they would, use that as spirit to keep fighting on, keep strong and keep believing in themselves to carry on. 

 

The support they'll continue to receive by the footballing world as tributes continue over the course of this season and others will be gratefully received I think.

I hope so too, they're a family of very special people and you're right, this was a vision shared by father and son and they've witnessed and achieved some incredible things together.

 

It'll take a lot, however grief is dealt with in so ,many different ways. The manner in which he died is just so terrible and upsetting, however the fact his father passed in this city, at this club they both belong to may have some comforting factors in time as he continues his work?! If that makes sense?

 

Who knows, the whole thing is just incomprehensible and shocking

[Fox 4 Life]

Not only has he lost his father but he now has his huge empire on his shoulders (LCFC/KP among others), that is a huge undertaking for anyone, let alone a young man who has just lost his guiding light. 

[Mendi]

No words 

[The whole world smiles]

I know I'll probably get slated for this as we shouldn't be thinking about the football side or the future in moments like this.

 

But I can't help thinking about the future of the club as the club is everything to me. 

 

So I find these images of top and his family mourning alongside fans extremely comforting. There is a feeling of unity and togetherness and it makes me more confident that king power won't walk away from the club.
