With 4 rounds left in the Premier League this season, Leicester City, the big dark marc, who leads with 5 points, can be said to have stepped on the championship podium with one toe. Unfortunately, no matter whether the Fox city soldiers can create miracles in the Premier League and even football history, the 51-year-old Leicester City die-hard Tony Scrington can not celebrate with his family and friends. On April 19, local time, he passed away peacefully accompanied by his family.
In February of this year, as Leicester City was marching forward, Tony received the thunderous news of a sunny day, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and Death was likely to take him to another world within 100 days. In the face of a sudden heavy blow, Tony did not choose to be depressed, but fought tenaciously with fate like a beloved team.
Far away in Australia, he was unable to go to the stadium to cheer on the team due to physical reasons, but Tony said in an interview that he would watch every game of the team on TV until he witnessed the team win the championship. Some time ago, Leicester City Sent Tony a team-signed flag hoping for his speedy recovery.
In last weekend's league game, Leicester City experienced a "comeback" at home, forcing West Ham united to draw in the last minute of injury time and grab a crucial 1 point. As usual, Tony waited in front of the TV early, and according to his wife, Donna, when Vardy opened the record for the team, Tony, who was already difficult to act on his own, got up from his seat excitedly.
However, in the second half the referee became the protagonist, and Vardy was awarded a second yellow card for a false fall, followed by penalties from both sides. In the end, with Ulyoya's penalty, this gripping "hand-to-hand battle" ended 2-2. "After the game, he reminisced about the game while discussing the referee's right and wrong with his children, and maybe it was the best way to send him off." At this point, tears appeared in the corners of Donna's eyes.
With passion and dreams, Tony quietly left the worldly glitz. Many fans have sent their blessings, and we believe that Leicester City's players will be encouraged to repay the support of the fans with practical actions. Just as football comes from life, the dream on the pitch is above all else.
From the Championship to the Premier League relegation life-and-death battle, and now becoming the biggest favorite to win the championship, Leicester City fans have witnessed too much with the team in recent years. In the chaotic world of the Premier League, their enthusiasm has also become the most solid backing of the team. "Seeing so many people around me celebrating, on the fan bus, they all came one by one, it touched me deeply. At that moment, you can experience the magical power of what is called football. Seeing the joy on the faces of the fans, I couldn't express my inner feelings in Italian, let alone English! The fans were so enthusiastic that even the experienced Ranieri on the battlefield burst into tears several times.
Of course, dreams alone are not enough, people are iron rice is steel, milk and bread can support the ideal. The fans loved it so much that Ghiyash, an Indian restaurant owner in Leicester City, decided to do his part as a landlord. He recently announced that as long as Leicester City wins the championship this season, the top 1,000 fans with the team's season ticket can go to his restaurant to enjoy a free curry meal. Giash said that although it would cost thousands of euros to do so, it would be worth it if he could experience such an incredible thing firsthand.
At Leicester City's home stadium, The King Power Stadium, fans have enjoyed the benefits of a full range of beer chips this season against Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams. Drinking while watching the ball is the dream of many fans, and now that the team's results are shining, presumably the team owner is willing to keep pace with the times and will not skimp on this "daily consumption". Finally, I also want to nag, fans and friends should also stop in moderation, although the carnival is good, but also pay attention to the body.
