Mansfield Town have announced plans to hold a minute of applause in the eighth minute of Saturday's League Two play-off final in support of former player and current Port Vale boss Darrell Clarke.
The Stags and Vale clash in their hunt for promotion at Wembley, but Mansfield intend to show a symbol of solidarity with Bristol Rovers legend Clarke, who suffered a close family bereavement in February.
Clarke spent several weeks on compassionate leave before returning to work just before the end of the regular season. Since retaking his place in the dugout, he has led Vale into the play-off final with a victory over Swindon Town on penalties in the semi-final last week.
