[Football] Brentford not wearing Black Armbands for George Cohen?

[Lenny Rider]

And Spurs are?

Missed the start, any explanation from the commentator?

 

[portlock seagull]

Not sure why they would in fairness.

I’ve been following football since 79, and I have to say I’d never heard of him before this week.

Both teams did a minute's applause. Apparently Spurs black armbands are due to mourning Kane's penalty miss t'other week

I knew who he was, although I suspect many fans under a certain age may not.

Club's will pay respect as they see fit. It's very articifical all this sometimes. Fans rating the biggest guestures.

Anti-semitism I expect

Only team I think would actually do that is Liverpool.

Perhaps wise to let the dust settle from Wednesday night before making penalty jokes also.

You don't know the names of the world cup winners? Learn this list; Banks, Wilson, Charlton J, Moore, Cohen, Ball, Peters, Stiles, Charlton R, Hunt, Hurst.

Maybe they made a mistake and forgot about it?

That doesn't half look like a copy and paste reply.

Wow that’s surprising
Guessing you re about 50 if you got into football 79 ?
as mentioned by others considering he was part of the (vice captain I think I learnt this week )World Cup winning team
that’s unusual to not have heard of him
Especially with his nephew Ben Cohen being a rugby WC winner

I know who he is, but why everyone wearing black armbands when nothing to do with their club / others from 66 never given such tributes? At the Fulham game, fair enough. Round of applause or silence at most matches more than suffices.

I’d never heard of Ben Cohen until George passed and mentioned. Not into Rugby btw so entirely plausible!

Well that’s nice and fair enough. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t or others didn’t though, as you point out.

maybe not one of the most memorable members of the squad, Fulham fans would know him from the womb.
