Sammy .

Are you aware that a similar tribute has been made at Celtic matches, including last Sunday?

He was with us for over 7 years (65 goals in 312 matches) and will always be a much loved legend. Good luck, Stan

Excellent to hear. Always been fond of the Bhoys! I'll amend in accordance.

There has been talk of a tribute/fund raising match involving both clubs, but the fact that we start our Euro campaign in mid July makes that unlikely.

Was pleased to see you stay up - Lenny/Lambo/Stan was one of our best ever midfield trios!

I go to the H & A games with my 2 sons and i know Stan has appreciated the support we have given him, we must not create a situation wherby it can become embarrasing for him, his family and our club. Most clubs H & A have given their support and we appreciate this. Stan must know how much he has given to our AVFC and he will always be fondly remembered for this. Let us all watch Stan move forward, I am sure he will give more to this world than his football career has ever done.

The 19th minute applause was a fantastic gesture ot honour a man who is and always will be a hugely respected figure at this football club.

It is, however, time to move on. I am sure Stan wouldn't want it to continue. He most likely wants to put it all behind him and focus on his recovery and his family.

Again, fantastic gesture, but lets leave it next season.

Don't normally join this type of thing, let alone comment.
Just would like to add a thought to this since it's difficult for some to decide when is best to end this gesture (if at all).

If it is to end however, how about when/if we actually score during that 19th minute.

Personally I don't mind what happens although I feel it is time to 'move on' and an appropriate time might be then.

Anyway, hello fellow villans.
ST holder for 12 years blah blah.
I probaly wont make a lot of comments yet, I always look in on many forums to get a feel for things on the fans front.
