Football world pays tribute to Arthur Labinjo-Hughes after six-year-old’s tragic death
Football supporters across the country paid tribute to murdered six-year-old boy Arthur Labinjo-Hughes on Saturday.
Applause filled the London Stadium for a sixth-minute tribute as West Ham hosted Chelsea and it was a similar scene at Watford where Arthur’s image was projected onto a big screen during their game against Manchester City.
The youngster was a fan of Birmingham City whose players wore ‘Arthur we love you’ T-shirts and were pictured carrying a banner bearing his picture before their match against Millwall.
