Got to agree withnotion of the minutes silence then miniutes applause.

Dont you think a minute silence can be too morbid?

Observe the minute silence .... Then a minute of clapping accompanied by "THERE'S ONLY ONE JOHN HOLMES "

Not at all. To stand in quiet contimplation surrounded by fans all paying their quiet respect to a true giant of the game is phenominal. To hear the flags cracking in the wind on top of the southstand and the sounds of the city in the background is fantastic. Then the wall of noise when the whistle goes to banish the silence, is just frankly amazing.

Couldn't agree more Swarcliffe. You hit that right on the head .

Holy Mother of God, just when you thought it couldnt get any worse, along came Loz.

Exactly the way it should be a time for quiet reflection

On friday, i will reflect on my memories of John Holmes
"The Man" during the one minutes silence

I will then have to clap, because IMO that is a true reflection of John Holmes "The Player"

Followed by another minute of 'Theres only one John Holmes' or similar after the applause ...

Could we make the minute's silence even more respectful / apprecative by a 'carpet' of scarves being raised aloft across the South Stand ?

Who is gonna speak to the band ? Get them to play a slow 'There was only one John Holmes' after the silence .
That and the scarves would be a top tribute in my opinion .

Good idea.

I don’t believe there is a better way to respect a player, especially one of Johns calibre, than with a minutes silence.

God bless ,

A top guy , must be one of the best players ever to wear the Leeds shirt .
