We prefer to focus on mourning individuals (and ideally none at all), but there was something deeply symbolic of the football family, and the affection for two guys in separate fields, about last Sunday’s moving pre-match ceremony.

You felt that “Baldy”, too, was right behind that goal bearing the “Hodgy” legend. Stopper and snapper together forever.
