Nigel Pearson and Joe Williams have paid a touching tribute to Nathan Baker after the club showed their appreciation for his career in an emotional gesture on Saturday.
At half-time in Bristol City's 0-0 draw with Watford, the retired City favourite was handed a guard of honour from players and staff members as Ashton Gate rose to its feet. Baker, holding his baby boy Jax with his wife Catherine at his side, was presented with a framed signed shirt by manager Pearson.
It was a powerful moment of unity with Baker visibly emotional alongside a number of City players and supporters who had the privilege to watch him in action. The 31-year-old called time on his football career at the beginning of the season on medical advice from doctors.
