    Totally the opposite to our father and son double act.

    We were cursed, whilst Leicester were blessed.

    Don’t know if the rumour I heard has any credence, but its being said that a police drone, used for watching the West Ham fans collided with the tail rotor. Probably bollox but I don’t know anything about drones or what height they can achieve or are effective from.
    Don’t shoot the messenger. Just saying like.

    It is bollocks, the police dismissed it as nonsense the day after the crash.

    Yes, I think I’d go straight to denial if I’d just killed five people!
    Although I do agree it’s probably tosh, just thought I’d share what I’d heard.

    On the clip that I’ve seen the helicopter seems to start with a quite large puff of smoke, and then after taking off it appears to move much further forward than I’d expect prior to going straight up. Im no expert but I just thought that both things were a bit unusual.

    This is it...



    Edit : Although some dickhead has clearly already tampered with the footage to try and create yet another conspiracy theory.

    I think I read somewhere that they found the black box, so that should give some indication of where the problem arose.

    Yes, it was badly damaged by the fire, but they recovered all of the data.

    The family seem like brilliant people, even his son with a loving and touching statement. Makes you want Leicester to succeed in his memory as clearly he loved football.

    Football gets a lot of bad press, as do footballs foot but it's great to see us all units at times like this.

    This and the mental health thread show what sport is about for me, bringing like minded people together to unite us and remind us of human decency.

    Investigators say the Leicester City helicopter pilot lost control after his pedals became disconnected from the tail rotor blades.
