Imps fans to pay tribute to Keith Alexander

Lincoln City supporters will get the chance to pay their respects to Keith Alexander after chairman Steff Wright said the club legend deserved the perfect tribute.

The Imps are still coming to terms with the death of the Sincil Bank hero, who died just hours after overseeing Macclesfield's 1-0 defeat at Notts County on Tuesday.

Tributes are still continuing to pour in for the 53-year-old and as a mark of respect, a minute's silence will be observed at every game across the country tomorrow.

Plans are also underway for Lincoln fans to commemorate the ex-City chief during next Friday's home clash against Hereford when the World Cup will be on show.

"Obviously we need to talk to the family first, but we would like to pay the perfect tribute to Keith because he deserves it," said Wright.

"The game against Hereford is our next home match and on one hand it's going to be a carnival because of the World Cup, but on the other it's going to be very emotional.

"Given the gentleman and the kind of guy that Keith was, the fans are going to want to pay their respects and we want to do something that reflects the fantastic person he was.

"We have a few ideas, but until we talk to Matt, his son, and Helen, his wife, then it would be unfair of me to go into any detail."
