00:00 And rise it high and shine a light for Chris Nicol, one of the legends of this industry and one of the legends of Walsall Football Club.
00:12 Thank you Simon. As you mentioned there, we are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of former manager James Sorensen,
00:21 life-long supporter of Stan Blanford and in the last few days another member of the Walsall family, Chris Nicol.
00:27 Chris met the Sadler's from 1994 to 1997 and won promotion to Division 2 in what was a memorable campaign.
00:34 He was an extremely passionate and likeable figure and someone who will live long in our memory.
00:40 As a mark of respect and in honour of Chris' life, the team are wearing black armbands this evening and we are also joined by Martin O'Connor,
00:47 who captained the side during Chris' tenure, as well as a number of former players.
00:52 We now invite you to please stand if you are able to, for a minute's applause which will end on the referee's whistle.
00:59 Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Nicol.
01:01 [Applause]
