Hopefully SKY will be able to get some footage and provide a tribute on the screen as well.

I detest the football style round of applause, which has evolved only as the result of the gormless minority being unable to behave in a civilised manner for 60 seconds.'"
Hear, hear... |

Without doubt the best and most talented player that I have ever seen in blue and amber.
Silence followed by applause would be a fitting tribute

Methinks a change to the cover design of the match programme would be a nice gesture.

I don't see a problem with a minutes applause, I actually quite like it. The idea that the fact I defend it means I am incapable of standing in silence for one minute is just ridiculous.
My dad wanted Fiesta by The Pogues played at his funeral, and that's exactly what he got. Everyone at the funeral thought it was entirely appropriate for the man he was, and in difficult times, everyone raised a smile. I never saw John Holmes play but I would say a minutes applause for a great career and, i'm led to believe, a great man, would be entirely appropriate.

IIRC, the club have already announced it will be a tribute edition ....
BTW ... 'God help' any Chav that might think it 'clever' to mess about during the silence on Friday. |

Silence would be my choice - a time for reflection.

Confirmed that it'll be a silence. The right call for me. Applause can be Ok in some circumstances, but when someone passes away before 60 I think silence is much more appropriate. His family will be there and the tragedy for them merits silent reflection prior to applause.

Don't mind admitting i'm an armchair supporter now & respect those who go week in & week out, it takes a special talent to intice me to headingley nowadays, i'll be there friday, the most special talent of all has inticed me to observe that 1 minute in his memory, I would not miss it for the world.
