The English Premier League has a tough week after the Leicester City Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha dies in a helicopter crash outside of the King Power Stadium, Glenn Hoddle suffers a heart attack when covering the league for BT Sport, and an elderly Brighton fan collapses at the AMEX before passing away in a hospital.
It was one of the darkest days in Premier League history as Leicester Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people confirmed dead after a helicopter crashed shortly after taking off from the King Power pitch on Saturday.
None of the five people on board survived, including the pilot Eric Swaffer, another pilot, Izabela Lechowicz, and two members of Srivaddhanaprabha’s staff Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare.
Srivaddhanaprabha bought the club in 2010 and went on to lead the most remarkable sporting fairytales in recent memory when the club won the 2015/16 English Premier League (EPL).

Matchday three of the Champions League ends with Liverpool leading the tightest group in the competition after a stunning home win against Red Star Belgrade.
When it comes to European clubs that have the Champions League /European Cup sewn into their DNA, Liverpool is amongst them. There was a time when the Merseysiders took their ferry all over Europe, annihilating everyone in their path, and while they may not be the dominant side they once were, they still come alive when Tony Britten’s classic anthem bursts through the tannoy.

25/10/2018 – Valletta, Malta – As part of a new strategic partnership, all Betsoft Gaming titles will be added to the game portfolio portion of Pragmatic Solutions’ popular casino platform.
The agreement is all-encompassing; every Betsoft title, including player favourites and new innovations in the sought-after Slots3™ series, will be made available to customers of Pragmatic Solution’s white label iGaming Platform.
Founded in Gibraltar in 2013, Pragmatic Solutions has made significant strides in a very short span of time. Already available in multiple regulated markets, the company’s iGaming Platform contains everything necessary to operate an online casino: from cloud hosting and compliance, to cross-channel content and a comprehensive back office. Customers have complete control over the user experience of their casino, and also benefit from an open, API-based integration system, allowing for easy addition of third-party content sources and services.
“Pragmatic Solutions are an extremely focused business, with one goal in mind: providing the most flexible, feature-complete iGaming platform possible,” explains Annamaria Anastasi, Marketing Director at Betsoft. “To fulfil that ambition, the company needs to pre-populate the platform with the best games the industry has to offer – and this is where Betsoft comes in. We have been able to add a wide variety of established hits and entirely unique experiences to the Platform’s content portfolio – all with our signature cinematic quality.”
