of everything happened that was the moment for me, i cant think of anything so poignant ive ever seen at the lane like that. when he was having a few words. that i was privy to such a private moment.Christ, this picture of wilder has got me going again.
I hope they can find a suitable place in the ground to permanently display the flag.
Completely coincidental too, but it was good that Stevens was involved today. He got a great reception while laying the wreath in front of the South.Completely coincidental i’m sure, but i couldn’t help but notice who had the ball at the end of the second minute applause as the match clock went from 2:59-3:00 today
Alfie Gilchrist. Wearing number 2.
I’m in no way religious, so don’t believe it was in any way some sort of ‘plan’ - but it made me smile when I realised.
RIP George.
They did.They won't. Modern football fans seem to find it very hard to stay silent for one minute nowadays without breaking into applause or song. I find it kind of disrespectful tbh. When someone dies young at 31 you mourn in silence.
Anyone get a photo of Stevens laying the wreath?
Best I gotAnyone get a photo of Stevens laying the wreath?
Haven’t seen the video. Could someone re-post. Thanks.My thoughts on the matchday tribute;
Music - Starman by David Bowie is a song I always liked anyway. The lyrics "waiting in the sky" took on a different meaning yesterday.
Video - A very nicely put together compilation. The bit on the end where George was interviewing Ndiaye during a pre-season camp and signed off with a 'goodbye' was particularly moving.
Applause & Silence - Observed impeccably well by 99.9%.
I'm unconvinced silent tributes are a good idea in football simply because a fractional % of nobhead football fans can ruin it.
With that said, the Stoke fans did a good job of self-policing and 'shushing' some noise from inside their concourse.
Wreath - Really nice touch from the club and having it laid by Ends Stevens at the RB position going towards the kop.
Gary Sinclair - Did the unenviable job of delivering that tribute and did it tremendously well. It was clear how well he was doing to 'hold back' the emotion to deliver that speech. Well done GS
Posters given out at the end - Nice touch by the club.
I'm not an outwardly emotional person and I envy those who can release tears in public, but there were several moments during the tastefully done tributes where the emotion was overwhelming.
Staff, Players and Fans should all feel immensely proud of yesterday.

Was very emotional when interviewed after gameCompletely coincidental too, but it was good that Stevens was involved today. He got a great reception while laying the wreath in front of the South.
I think it will probably be released by club over next couple of days. I videoed it but not brilliant as was too emotionalDoes a video exist which shows the pre match tributes and minute's silence for George? I was there but focussed on the line up in front the south stand and missed the wreath laying again. Blurry eyes may have had something to do with it!
