Perfect tribute. Blurred vision pre kick-off for a lot of fans I imagine. There's a corner of the pitch that will forever be Elliot's.

Very touching tribute perfectly done by the club.
Can someone confirm the significance of that corner? I was under the impression it was related to the Dzeko goal in 2012 against QPR but for that corner the ball was thrown to Silva by Zabba after a steward threw it to Zabba. I'm a bit confused.

I've just watched it back and can confirm, no ball boy has the ball on any occasion for the equaliser.Very touching tribute perfectly done by the club.

Some people on twitter have been under the mistaken impression that the poor lad placed the ball in the corner quadrant before Silva took it. Maybe he was ballboy in that corner?Very touching tribute perfectly done by the club.

In any case it doesn't matter and it was a lovely tribute from the club today. Deepest sympathies to the family.

In bits watching this, what a beautiful young man.
If you watch this Elliott actually discusses the equaliser?
From just after the minute mark.

Maybe he told people so many times that he believed it himself?
