Everyone at the Imps was saddened to learn of the sudden death of Paul Hunter this week. Paul was a valued member of our matchday medical team and, although it is too late to add his name to the screens, he will also be in our thoughts during the applause.
The minute's applause will be filmed by the Imps and shared on club channels for those who are unable to be at the match.
