An online auction for the newly-named Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation has raised almost £20,000.

The LCFC Foxes Foundation was renamed in honour of the club's late chairman, who was one of five people killed in a helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium on 27 October.

Three items were auctioned off to raise money for the Foundation, including the boots Jamie Vardy wore in last Saturday’s match at Cardiff with ‘Khun Vichai’ embroidered on them. They went for £9,008, while a pair of Kasper Schmeichel’s gloves fetched £4,000.

Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy’s executive box for the Burnley game on Saturday (10 November) was also up for auction and raised £6,700. The package included a four-course meal, drinks and a personal visit by the striker.

In total, all three items raised £19,708 – all of which will go directly to The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation.
