When I edited the programme - for the last couple of seasons in the Conference - we were only too happy to mention births, deaths etc if people got in touch. My recollection is the club has always done this.

I think you should have made a significant contribution on or off the pitch to warrant silence/applause, but there's no reason why names shouldn't be read out without going the whole hog.

A couple of weeks ago I watched the highlights video for the inaugural season of 1989-90 and although I can't necessarily put names to faces, there are so many in the background who I know for certain are not with us any more or who demographically are very unlikely to be.

Tim did indeed ask people to stand ahead of the minute's silence if they were able to.
