Billy Sharp.....

[n_const]

With such trivial matters as moaning managers, bickering prima donnas and relegation battles were put into stark perspective at the Keepmoat Stadium last night as Billy Sharp displayed remarkable levels of bravery after opting to play despite the tragic loss of his two-day-old son Luey on Saturday. Anyone else see this last night ?

As I said in the Forest thread, certainly puts the Tevez situation into context.

He even managed to mark his performance with a goal.

RIP Little Man.

Scored as well I believe?

Didn't see it but was aware, there is a role model unlike the majority of footballers

RIP Mini Sharp

And the ref was a gent for allowing a little human spirit to over ride the rules for once and not book him for the shirt message to his son.

Takes some heart to do that, fair play to him.

Top bloke for managing to play after the devestating death of his son at the weekend.
Just goes to show not all footballers are aholes!

RIP to his son. Glad the ref used some common sense and didn't book him.
