Gone but not forgotten: Union Berlin remembers deceased fans in moving tribute miltonist

Ahead of Saturday's match against RB Leipzig, Union supporters held up placards of deceased loved ones with the inscription 'Endlich dabei' (Finally there).

The deceased were even counted in the official attendance. The Stadion An der Alten Försterei's official capacity is listed as 22,402, but Saturday's attendance was recorded as 22,467.

The stadium, which is the largest purpose-built football ground in Berlin, was officially opened in 1920, but has undergone a series of structural changes over the years, notably the refurbishment and roofing of the standing areas between June 2008 and July 2009.
