When I heard your words and learnt what you felt on that day when Scotland qualified after so many years of waiting, I realised that Diogo never truly left the pitch.“By achieving that moment, you won’t be going alone; you’ll be taking his dream with you too. When you step onto the pitch, I know it won’t be just you walking out.

Thank you for taking him with you. Then I saw how heartbroken we all were, but in particular her, when Jots left us.“Thank you, that letter will stay with me for a very long time.
