Billy Sharp...

He has a heart the size of a lion on the pitch and all Donny fans wish him and his family nothing but the best for the future. I don't know the details of what happened and I don't want to know, it should remain private, but it is obviously tragic and shouldn't happen to anyone. There were grown men with tears in their eyes during the minutes applause last night, and again when the goal went in, and what a goal by the way. Rip Louie and condolences to Billy and his family.

Well said Steve , how on earth he found the strenght to play is beyond me , cant even begin to guess what the family were going through.. may god keep & protect the beautiful little man , & provide the family with the strenght they will need ..
 
As a life long Boro fan I had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat last night. Chuffed to bits he scored and in truth I wish he'd scored a hat trick. First time I've had mixed emotions about winning.
 
Only read about it and saw it on SSN tonight. Fair play to the guy that takes real balls. He must have been in pieces inside and yet turned up, played and got a goal he undoubtedly deserved. I hope his family get some space now to grieve but I'm sure he'll come back stronger in some way. What is they say out of the face of adversity and all that.
 
Seen it on TV yesterday morning and brought a lump to my throat. Condolences to the family.

Think the ref deserves a wee mention too. They get a lot of stick in todays game and he would have been entitled to pull a card out, by the letter of the law, as Billy Sharp pulled his shirt up to reveal the tribute to his son.

He allowed Sharp to make his touching tribute and used common sense and kept his card in his pocket. Fair play to him.
