Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, owner of Leicester City FC (Premier League), offered a free beer and a donut to each spectator to celebrate his 58th birthday, as the club hosted Southampton FC (1-0, Matchday 32 of the Premier League), on 03/04/2016.

The Thai businessman Srivaddhanaprabha (58 years old, born on 03/04/1958), whose fortune is estimated at $2.8bn (€2.3bn), has owned 100% of Leicester City FC since 2010. His company, King Power, which manages the distribution of duty free goods, is the club's shirt sponsor and the stadium naimng rights holder: King Power Stadium (32,200 seats).

The Thai beer brand Singha -- a sponsor of the club -- and a donut were given to each spectator before the start of the Leicester City FC - Southampton FC match (1-0), in the usual outlets of the King Power Stadium. A bottle of water, instead of beer, was distributed those who preferred it, as well as to those under 18 years of age.

"Happy birthday, Mr Chairman!", said Leicester City FC on Twitter
