Well done Plymouth!
Respect from Sheffield!
ARGYLE will remember Derek Dooley before Saturday's Coca-Cola Championship clash with Sheffield United.
Former United chairman Dooley, a highly-respected footballing figure throughout his life, died this week, aged 78.
The Pilgrims will stage a minute's applause for Dooley, who also played for and managed Sheffield Wednesday, prior to kick-off this weekend.
Argyle chief executive Michael Dunford said: "Out of respect to our opponents, and to acknowledge Derek's lifelong contribution to football, there will be a minute's applause before Saturday's game.
"Paul Sturrock, who knew Derek during his time in Sheffield, has requested that our fans join the visiting Sheffield United supporters in showing their appreciation of a true footballing man."
Both sets of players will also wear black armbands during the game.
