A minute's silence was observed for one of Brigg's best-known footballers before the start of yesterday's match between Scunthorpe United and Charlton Athletic at Glanford Park, which drew a 6,000 crowd.
It was in memory of Mick Atkin, who managed to combine life in the Football League with teaching. He was on the PE staff of what's now the Vale of Ancholme College.
Mick made his Scunthorpe United debut against Lincoln in 1969, going on to play 140 games for The Iron.
