Fulham Supporters Trust have backed calls for a minute's applause against Bristol City following the tragic death of Benik Afobe's daughter Amora.
Robins supporters have come up with the idea of a minute's applause during their trip to Craven Cottage in memory of Amora, who passed away on Friday evening aged just two years old.
Football came together to show support for Afobe at the weekend, with his former club Wolverhampton Wanderers wearing black armbands as a sign of respect.
Bristol City are planning their own official tribute at a future home game, but the Robins make the trip to Fulham on Saturday for their first game since the tragic news broke on Sunday morning.
As such, Robins supporters have come up with the idea of applause in the second minute on Saturday.
City fans have arranged the tribute on social media, and now Fulham Supporters Trust have encouraged the home support at Craven Cottage to join in on Saturday.
They said: "Football is the game it is because of the passion of rivalries and intensity of the competition - particularly when both teams are vying for promotion.
"But tragic events like the sad, sudden death of Benik Afobe’s young daughter put all of that into perspective.
"Any fan who is a parent or sibling will struggle to comprehend the sense of loss Benik and his family are feeling now - and all decent fans will feel for them.
"That’s why the simple gesture of a minute's applause at the weekend goes beyond any on pitch rivalry, and the Fulham Supporters Trust encourages Fulham fans to join in with Bristol City supporters in a minutes applause as a gesture of condolence, solidarity and sympathy during the second minute of the game on Saturday."
