    Cardiff City boss Brian Barry-Murphy hopes the club's tribute to its former captain, the late Sol Bamba, will have been a source of comfort for his family.

    The Bluebirds beat Plymouth Argyle 4-0 on Saturday, a day short of a year since former Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Leicester City defender Bamba died at the age of 39.

    Fans from both clubs applauded for a whole minute 14 minutes into the game, a reference to Bamba's squad number at Cardiff.

    Barry-Murphy then held aloft a scarf bearing Bamba's name as he celebrated victory with the Bluebirds supporters after the final whistle.

    "My wife was really close to Chloe [Bamba's wife] so she knows the family really well, so a real awareness of what they went through," said Barry-Murphy.

    "I lost my own friend [former Rochdale player Joe Thompson] to cancer recently, and I think it just makes you realise how fragile life is. We obsess about everything in football, but really, it's just a small part of people's lives.

    "I think it was just important that for his [Bamba's] family and for our supporters to have that feeling of being connected. It will give a lot of people a lot of feeling of comfort in what is going to be a difficult time, bearing in mind how close it is to his anniversary."
