Billy Sharp, a Championship footballer, played and scored for his club three days after the death of his newborn son. Billy Sharp turned out for Doncaster Rovers' 3-1 defeat by Middlesbrough on Tuesday 1st November after it was announced his two-day-old son Luey Jacob passed away on Saturday. He captained the team and opened the scoring with a 14th-minute wonder goal, which he celebrated by lifting up his strip to reveal a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'That's for you, son'. With Premiership players earning up to £250,000 a week and picking and choosing when they play, let's get some recognition for a proper sportsman who has shown home humanity and humility.

Absolute legend. Most stars nowadays wouldn't even think about stepping on the pitch in that situation. Billy deserves this 100%
