Fans of Charlotte FC and Atlanta United came together on Saturday to honour the late Anton Walkes, who died in a boast crash in January.
Charlotte played host to Atlanta on week three of the 2023 MLS season, but before the game kicked off a tifo of Walkes was unveiled by the crowd. The tifo showed Walkes wearing a split jersey consisting of Charlotte and Atlanta colours, the last two MLS sides he represented before passing.
Walkes was selected by Charlotte in the 2021 expansion MLS draft, and made 23 appearances during their inaugural season. It was in Atlanta that he really established himself, after his professional career failed to take off while at Premier League side Tottenham.
