MK Dons paid an emotional tribute to their former player George Baldock ahead of their League Two match at home to Port Vale on Saturday.
Greek international Baldock, 31, was found dead in the swimming pool of his home in Athens this week.
Baldock started his career at MK Dons after playing in the academy and went on to make 125 senior appearances for the club.
He made his first-team debut against Brighton in May 2010 and remained at MK Dons until 2017, also having loan spells at Northampton, Tamworth (twice), IBV and Oxford.
A minute’s silence was held before Saturday’s match, with players from both teams wearing black armbands, while a shirt with ‘Baldock 2’ on the back was placed in the home dugout.
