Players pay tribute to terror attack victims
A minute's silence was held ahead of Walsall's match with Oldham Athletic in honour of the three Walsall fans killed in the Tunisia terror attack.
Survivor Owen Richards and his mother Suzy were guests at Saturday's game and were presented with flowers by directors of the Oldham club ahead of the game.
Fans of both clubs also left floral tributes and scarves outside the Banks's stadium.
Owen's brother Joel, aged 19, of Wednesbury, his uncle and Sandwell Council worker Adrian Evans, 49, of Bilston, and grandfather Patrick Evans, 78, of Wednesbury, died in the attack at the beach resort of Sousse.
Five thousand fans attended the game at the Banks's Stadium and joined players from both clubs to observe an impeccable minute silence.
Owen, 16, stood alongside Saddlers' boss Dean Smith in the dugout during the silence, as Walsall players, led by captain Adam Chambers, stood arm-in-arm at the centre circle in tribute to the family.
Their funerals of the three family members took place last month in West Bromwich and the football club hosted a remembrance event after the services at the Banks's.
Owen had joined his brother, uncle and grandfather to watch Walsall play at Wembley at the Johnson's Paint Trophy final.
Last week officers from Scotland Yard said there is 'strong evidence' linking the terror attack to an earlier massacre which killed 22 people including a mother-of-two from the Midlands.
The earlier attack happened at the National Bardo Museum outside the capital Tunis in March.
Sally Adey, who lived near Shifnal, was among those killed.
Saturday saw the matchday return, for the first time in five years, of Walsall FC owner Jeff Bonser.
