Such a lovely story...
In 2010, Exeter retired the no.9 shirt as a mark of respect to former striker Adam Stansfield, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of just 31.
This season, his son Jay has been playing for Exeter, on loan from Fulham - and got to wear his dad's number.
And in his final game he scored a hat-trick... in front of the Stansfield Stand. Beautiful.
