I love this kind of thing – hope we do it too at some point

Yeah players seem to really value and appreciate it as well. Arsenal include it in their presentation vids, and players always look really happy about it. Cricket and rugby have been doing it for decades and players have spoken out about how proud they felt and how it was a real acknowledgement of what they had accomplished to get there.

It's such a simple gesture that helps to cement a player as part of history, I can't imagine what it must mean for a player that's come up through the academy
