MOTD mention after applause tribute to Island footballer

Supporters led the tribute to Louis Thornton in the 26th minute of the match at The Riverside during a clash with Tottenham.

 

The act of remembrance was featured during the coverage of the game on BBC's Match of the Day: 

 

 

Thornton - who was the first team captain of Manx club Corinthians AFC - was found dead in a hotel room in Liverpool on September 17th; it's understood his death is not being treated as suspicious. 

 

Corinthians also paid tribute to him this weekend at their pitch at Ballafletcher.
