Eternal captain immortalised

Fiorentina returned to action a week after the sudden death of captain Davide Astori in a home game on Sunday
played in a poignant atmosphere.
Last Sunday's Serie A fixtures were postponed after Astori's body was found in his hotel room ahead of an away game against Udinese.
After emotional scenes on Friday as Roma, one of Astori's former clubs, beat Torino, and a commemoration on Saturday at the Verona derby, Fiorentina kicked off Sunday's action at their stadium against Benevento.
For the warmup, all the Fiorentina players and coach Stefano Pioli wore shirts bearing the number "13” and the name "Astori".
The ground was packed. One banner in the crowd read "Ciao captain", another "Our captain forever" and purple smoke from flares to match the colour of Fiorentina's shirts filled the sky.
The screens played a video homage to the club's late skipper. The flags above the curved stands at either end of the long, narrow stadium flew at half mast.
The stadium announcer included "Number 13, forever our captain, Davide Astori" in the line-up. The
pre-match ceremony began with the two sides lining up as Italian star Jovanotti sung "Terra Degli Omini". Players, from both teams, wept.
The Fiorentina players held a long, home-made, banner saying "Ciao Davide". Both teams had the same phrase sewn on their left shirt shoulders. The words were repeated on many of the banners in the crowd.
Before kick off, fans main stand released a cloud of purple and white balloons that floated heavenwards.
After 13 minutes, Astori's shirt number, the action stopped, the
players, match officials and the fans, stood and clapped for 60 seconds.
Eleven minutes later, Fiorentina took the lead. Vitor Hugo stepped into Astori's place in the centre of defence wearing 31. And the reverse of Astori's number, leapt to meet a high ball and headed it powerfully into the net Then he grabbed a tee-shirt printed with a picture of Astori and held it up as the crowd applauded.
As the rain intensified, the crowd chanted: "un capitano, c'e solo un capitano!" ("One captain, there's only one captain!")
