Former Premier League striker Grant Holt has revealed that playing against Leeds United with Norwich City was the 'first time he nearly cried on a pitch' as he was flooded with memories of his late father.
The 41-year-old, who currently works as a scout for relegation rivals West Ham, grew up in Carlisle but was always affiliated with the Whites as a kid due to his father supporting them.
"I remember playing against Leeds for the very first time, and he was a massive Leeds fan," Holt recalled at a talk with a bereavement charity called Take Our Hand.
