EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured during the Sky Bet Championship match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Hull City on September 12,2015, at the American Express Community Stadium, Chris Hughton, the Brighton manager, pays tribute to two of the club's beloved deceased players, Matt Grimstone and Jacob Schilt. The background of the photo shows Hughton standing on the touchline, with the memorial shirts of Grimstone and Schilt prominently displayed. Grimstone, a defender, tragically passed away in a car accident in 2008, while Schilt, a young midfielder, died of leukemia in 2011. This was not the first time Hughton had paid tribute to the two players during his tenure at Brighton. However, this particular match held a special significance as it was the first time Brighton had faced Hull City since the tragic events that took the lives of Grimstone and Schilt. Both players had spent time on loan at Hull City during their careers. The memorial shirts, adorned with the numbers 6 and 14 respectively, were worn by Brighton players as a mark of respect during the warm-up and the first half of the game. The team went on to win the match 3-1, with the fans creating a rousing atmosphere in support of their team and in memory of Grimstone and Schilt. This photo encapsulates the spirit of football, where the game transcends the pitch and brings communities together in times of grief and celebration. It serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering those who have contributed to the game, even if their time on the field was cut short.
