I thought that was great that Hearts scored in the 30th minute today, whilst there was a Stadium tribute to a massive 30 year old fan who sadly passed away earlier this week named Aaron.
It put me in mind when Leigh Griffiths scored a goal on 9 minutes ( I think ) in honour of a young Coatbridge youngster who also suddenly died.
Whilst we done a Stadium tribute.
I've alway noticed his brilliant gravestone of a footballer in his amateur teams football colours.
The lad would've been 21 years old on the same day as my 50th.
God Bless ??.

Buzz is this in coltswood cemetary, as I have noticed a young boys grave with a sculpture of an amateur player there when I am up visiting my grans grave.

That’s it Paul.
Black and Gold are his teams colours.
I think he was a little older, maybe 11 years old.
Griffiths ran behind the goals, after he scored on the exact minute of the applause and he lifted a Celtic jersey with his name on it.
It was a class act from Leigh.

Thanks Buzz, I go up with my son every 2 or 3 weeks to visit my grans grave, we often stop at the young mans grave and say hello. I remember when Griffiths did that, a class act and a lovely tribute to the young man, sadly taken too soon.
