This was the moment football fans at Carlisle United remembered one of their own.
The 22nd minute of the Blues' 2-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town saw supporters stage a minute's applause in memory of John McKenna.

It was a moving tribute to the 22-year-old from Crosby-on-Eden, who tragically died whilst on holiday in Ibiza this summer.
Many of the 7,395 took part in the applause to show their respects to John, an electrician and a popular player for Scotby FC.
United's tribute is being echoed in the county's grassroots game after the Cumberland FA announced that games in a number of leagues would also see a period of applause in memory of John.
