Robbie Cundy revealed his grandma passed away the day before his terrific full Bristol City debut in the victory at Blackburn earlier this month.
The 24-year-old's three-year wait to make his first start for the Robins through loans and a serious knee injury was rewarded with a "surreal" debut when Andi Weimann scored a last-gasp winner to send the away fans into raptures.
Cundy had made three substitute appearances before lining up at Ewood Park as City picked up a rare away victory and kept their first clean sheet this year.
