"We have their shirts up in the dressing room every single game, so we see Sol and we see Peter Whittingham, and it's pretty significant. You get a feeling that they will always be with you in every single game, it's nice. Our kit man, David Bush... was very close to both.
"I lost my own friend to cancer recently," he added. "It just makes you realise how fragile life is and how we obsess about everything in football but really, it's a small part of people's lives.
"It was just important for his family and our supporters to have that feeling of being connected, it will give a lot of people a lot of comfort in what is going to be a difficult time, bearing in mind how close it is to the anniversary [of his death]."
