1) Leicester’s glory down to unity from top down 

Of all of the post-match scenes, as the emotion ran wild through the Leicester ranks, was anything more touching than when the club’s chairman, Top Srivaddhanaprabha, was led on to the Wembley pitch by Kasper Schmeichel to be presented with the FA Cup? Bouncing up and down with the players, Srivaddhanaprabha could savour a dream-come-true moment and the poignancy was obvious, given the tragic death in 2018 of his father, Vichai, the then Leicester owner. What shone through was the connection that Srivaddhanaprabha has with Brendan Rodgers and the squad. It is a truly powerful force that played its part in Leicester’s victory. The top-down togetherness has helped make Leicester a destination club. The final win was historic but the sense that the club’s journey will continue is inexorable.
