Wembley's moving tribute to John Motson pays great respect to the former broadcasting legend ahead of the Carabao Cup final.

The Salford-born speaker, who became known as the voice of football for his commentary work for the BBC, died on Thursday at the age of 77.

The home of English football has placed a picture of Motson overlooking the Wembley turf for the 2023 final between Manchester United and Newcastle United.

There is also a microphone branded 'Motty', and a sheepskin coat, which became synonymous with the broadcasting legend.
