Over £200 has already been raised to enable the thoughtful gesture to go ahead, and any additional money will be distributed either to a further appropriate memorial or to a charity that Brett would have supported.

Brett’s sister, Hayleigh, is currently in touch with the club regarding a photo on the big screen and a mention in the Matchday Programme for the game against Wolves.

Ricky Friend, who set up to donation page, said: “I saw Hayleigh’s post in the Birmingham City Fan Talk page, so I just wanted to do something to help. I asked her if it would be OK to set up a page and she said it was, so I set it up for her family today.

“It’s great how people have reacted and we’re already up to £222, so we already have enough for the brick, but it will great to be able to help a charity with the cash as well.”
