Among English football's adventures of father and son, it is the most beautiful tale of them all.
Nothing could be a more compelling tribute to tragic Exeter City striker Adam Stansfield, who died from bowel cancer 12 years ago, than his son Jay accepting the torch and bringing his dad's No.9 shirt out of retirement at St James Park.
So far, Jay's loan move from Fulham has yielded four goals and his three assists, including a pair of sumptuous passes in the rollicking Devon derby defeat at Plymouth.
