Iheanacho, Ndidi celebrate with Leicester chairman @ 60
Super Eagles duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi celebrated Leicester’s City chairman VichaiSrivaddhanaprabha’s 60th birthday with a teddy bear’s picnic at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
The event was held in the hospital’s LEat restaurant and saw the children entertained with games, live entertainment and a number of activities, including painting, teddy bear making and a horse racing game.
Both Iheanacho and Ndidi joined first choice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and Leicester City chief executive Susan Whelan to cut the cake, which read “Happy Birthday Mr Chairman”.
Speaking at the event, Iheanacho said: “It was lovely. Whenever you’re with the kids you’re happy – you play with them, paint with them and feel loved. Kids are the most important people in the world.”
Ndidi echoed those sentiments, saying: “You can see the children are happy, they are taking pictures and painting
together. I feel it’s a great step for everybody.”
The players and children also sang Happy Birthday to the chairman and in his absence they also helped to blow out the candles on his cake.
The party is just one of a number of ways the chairman is celebrating his landmark birthday with the local community.
At Saturday’s game against Newcastle, he’ll be giving away 60 free 2018/19 season tickets.
