World snooker champion Mark Selby keen to party with Leicester City footballers

Mark Selby wants to join Leicester’s open-top bus parade after missing the greatest moment in the club’s history while he wrapped up the Betfred World Championship title.

Within 15 minutes of Leicester being confirmed as Premier League champions on Monday night, Foxes fan Selby clinched an 18-14 victory over Ding Junhui in the Crucible.

Leicester’s staggering sporting achievements will be followed by days and weeks of celebrations, and Selby has earned his right to be a part of that.
