Leister City fc stars' racist orgy shame caught on camera during Thailand end of season tou

Leicester City budding stars, including boss Nigel Pearson's son, were filmed taking part in a vile orgy in which a local girl was racially abused in Bangkok

It was supposed to be a Premier League club’s end-of-season tour to promote goodwill in the homeland of its proud Thai billionaire owners.

But three of Leicester City’s budding stars blew that apart with a vile orgy in which a local girl was racially abused soon after the team arrived in Bangkok.

As team boss Nigel Pearson prepared for a week of helping to cement ­relationships between the UK and Thailand and boosting his club’s growing Far East fan base, his defender son James, 21, and pals Tom Hopper, a striker, and goalkeeper Adam Smith, 22, had other ideas.

They were busy filming three Thai girls committing depraved sex acts with them in a hotel room.

The swaggering trio then shared the explicit videos with friends back in the UK in which one of the players can be heard calling a woman a “slit eye” while his mates snigger at the racist jibe.

The girls taking part in the orgy were also taunted as “minging” while the naked players – all on the fringe of Leicester’s first team – make other sickening comments about them too explicit to be printed here.

Concerned officials at Leicester City were made aware of the scandal.

It is bound to infuriate and embarrass father and son owners Vichai and ­Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha who have ploughed millions into establishing the Midlands side as a Premier League outfit after taking over the club five years ago.

And it will shock fans still celebrating their team’s miracle survival in a nail-biting relegation battle.

One video begins with the three players stripped naked and cheering as they carry out sex acts with the women.

Hopper then appears to use a mobile phone to film them having group sex together. Laughing and doing a running commentary over the footage, he is heard saying: “Go on that love” before pouring out a string of abuse.

Afterwards the three watch the women indulging in lesbian sex acts.

Filming them amid laughter, one of the men is heard off-camera saying: “Come on ... you slit-eye.”

In another clip Hopper, 21, cruelly tells one of the women she is “f***ing minging… an absolute one out of 10”.

Pearson or Smith is then heard off-camera shouting: “Oi Hops, I’ll swap you.” The video ends with Hopper and Pearson high-fiving each other as if celebrating a goal while romping with two of the women.

Days later, the video clips were shared by at least one of the players with friends in the UK who then passed them on.

The footage heaps shame on a club which has tried to take a strong stance against racism.

Manager Pearson, 51, is an outspoken campaigner and a patron of football’s Kick It Out scheme.

The players’ appalling antics with the Thai women could also damage the club’s “strategic, international partnership” with the Tourism Authority of Thailand which had been renewed for a third season.

Its Amazing Thailand branding has appeared on the back of team shirts for the last two years.

The club’s CEO Susan Whelan has said of the partnership: “We’re absolutely thrilled to continue to work with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

“Their support in the last two years has been vital in helping us promote Leicester City to a Thai audience and in reaching our goals closer to home.

“It is important to us that we are able to build on existing relationships we have developed with key sponsors.”

The Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Thawatchai Arunyik, heaped glowing praise on the club at the time, saying: “The last two years working with Leicester City have been an amazing adventure, filled with aspiration, incredible people and some wonderful memories.

“We are very proud to be working with Leicester City and its supporters, who have embraced the Club’s increasingly strong association with Thailand and given the nation a Premier League club its people can take to their hearts.”

The Srivaddhanaprabhas – owners of Thailand’s travel giant King Power International – took over the club in 2010. They renamed the ground the King Power Stadium.

Since then, players, management and backroom staff have enjoyed adulation from the Thai public on official end-of-season visits designed to raise the club’s profile there.

At the end of the Premier League season last week squad players shared a £5million bonus for avoiding the drop into the Championship.

Boss Pearson praised the team, saying: “I think the key thing for us, even in our darkest moments, and there have been a few, is that the players have continued to support each other and believe in their own ability.

“That’s difficult when people are questioning your integrity.”

Now the integrity of his son and pals Hopper and Smith – who have all been loaned to other clubs for some of last season – is under the microscope for other very different reasons.

A spokesman for Leicester City said the club would not be making any comment.
