A classy tribute for a classy man.

Glenavon never lost sight of the bigger picture on Saturday. The club claimed a historic Irish Cup title after beating Linfield 2-0 and it was celebration time for Gary Hamilton and his men. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/729006199644000256 Not before they paused to remember Mark Farren. The Irish football legend who played his last competitive football with Glenavon was there in spirit at Windsor Park as the club went on to clinch the title. The players were draped in Mark Farren t-shirts after the game and manager Gary Hamilton dedicated the victory to the Inishowen native. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvYhHTh1V8k Mark's wife Terri-Louise was there for the game too as she led the sides out for the decider. https://twitter.com/Anna__Q/status/728940268733530113 And it's not like he wasn't being thought about in the stands either. https://twitter.com/Glenavon_FC/status/728897296084119556 He'll never be forgotten.
