Europe: League one side Bristol Rovers pay tribute to former forward Manuel Junior Agogo in their 3-1 win over Oxford United

English league one side Bristol Rovers paid a befitting tribute to their former forward Manuel Junior Agogo as they warmed up in shirts paying tribute to the forward in their 3-1 win over Oxford United

The former player made over century appearances for the club scoring 41 goals in total for them

Bristol Rovers defeated Oxford United to ensure they give the former striker a very well befitting tribute

Head coach Graham Coughlan after the game said

” The lads put the jerseys on and I can’t actually describe how tough it was yesterday. I was taken aback on Thursday when I heard the news at first, then on Friday I can’t tell you how sombre the place was. It was difficult and emotional” he said to Bristol Live

He added ” The lads were brilliant, they wanted to go out and send a little message to Junior and thank him for not only what he did at Bristol Rovers but the career he had and the type of person and character he was. He was a special type of lad, to be fair”

Agogo passed away on Thursday morning in London after long battle with stroke at the age of 40
