A wife has paid tribute to her "incredible" husband as Nottingham Forest fans plan to honour him at a match. Luke Barnes, of Mapperley, sadly passed away on Friday, March 17 after he lost his long-time battle with Cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
The 34 year old was known for his love of Nottingham Forest, and so his friends and members of the football community will be honouring Luke during the Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wolves match on Saturday, April 1. At the 34th minute of the match, they will come together in a round of applause to remember Luke and show his family their support.
When asked how she felt about the plans, Luke's wife, Isobel said: "It's amazing, it's what he would have wanted. It feels so nice to see support and I know how many people were touched by his story, so to see the football crowd getting behind him, I'm just going to cry the whole time."
