Doncaster Rovers have written an official letter to Town thanking fans for the support given to striker Billy Sharp during Saturday’s game. The 25-year-old, whose new-born son Luey died a week ago, was applauded by home supporters after he scored his side’s second goal and when he was substituted during the second half.
Dave Morris, the chief executive of the South Yorkshire club, wrote to his Town counterpart Simon Clegg, saying: "I would like to say how much we appreciate your magnificent fans and the way they responded to our team, and in particular Billy Sharp.
"Their behaviour and attitude was an absolute credit to football and to your club."
