In this poignant moment during the Sky Bet Championship match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Millwall at the American Express Community Stadium on 12 December 2014, the home team paid tribute to Alex Jackson, a young fan who tragically passed away just days before. The 14-year-old had been a devoted supporter of Brighton and Hove Albion since the age of six, and his untimely death left the football community in mourning. As the teams took to the field for the kick-off, a minute's silence was observed in memory of Alex, with both sets of players wearing black armbands as a mark of respect. But the tribute did not end there. In the 14th minute of the game, the number of shirts that Alex had worn as a mascot for the Seagulls, his favorite team, were displayed on the giant screens around the stadium. The crowd roared in applause as the shirts were shown, each one bearing the name and number of Alex. The atmosphere was charged with emotion as Brighton and Hove Albion took on Millwall in this crucial league fixture. The players gave their all, determined to honor the memory of their young fan. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, but the result was secondary to the powerful display of solidarity and support from the players, the fans, and the football community as a whole. This photograph captures the essence of that special moment, a tribute to a young life cut short, but one that left a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of all those who knew him. The memory of Alex Jackson will live on in the annals of Brighton and Hove Albion FC, a testament to the power of football to bring people together in times of grief and to celebrate the lives of those who have touched our hearts.
