Directly before kick-off with Leeds at 5.15pm, Martyn's wife, Sharon was laying flowers - along with both team captains - in front of the Steve Bull Stand, where the 50-year-old held a season ticket for many years.

Fans, players and staff will also observe a period of applause during the tribute and players will be wearing black armbands throughout the game.

There will be written tributes from Mr Matthews's family in the matchday programme.

As part of the tributes, the two clubs were also remembering Leeds fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, who lost their lives supporting their team in Turkey 15 years ago this month.
