As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Lazio want to celebrate Wilson’s memory in their game against Venezia and so they’ve planned a number of different things that will pay tribute to the former captain.
Ciro Immobile will wear a red captain’s armband and the Roman club will invite the remaining 1974 champions to watch the game, from Giancarlo Oddi and Luigi Martini to Vincenzo D’Amico and Franco Tripodi. Wilson’s partner Daniela and their children James and Gilda will also be present.
Before kick-off there will be a minute’s silence, with black and white images of the captain being shown on the big screens at the Stadio Olimpico.
