Manchester City supporters are being asked to clap together at the 60th minute of Saturday's home match against Coventry City, paying tribute to Eddie Dean, a father and armed forces veteran from Urmston who passed away on Friday, August 29. Dean, recognized as a lifelong City fan, leaves behind one child.
The gesture is fan-organized ahead of a match that also saw City make a late change to their starting lineup after an injury. No additional information on the affected player were released at the time.
