Lovely words Sam. Sad to see each of them go, even if each departure is understandable. Basham, the lone link back to the Clough era, feels especially intertwined with the highs and lows we’ve all gone on these past 10 years – from a trier that Clough preferred two full-backs over him at centre-back in his last game in the mad Swindon game, to a virtually irreplaceable specialist centre-back key to our system. Hope he’s given a proper testimonial.

Thanks, Sam - what a moving tribute. *wipes tears*
Three legends indeed - let's hope we can let them know it on Sunday.
