Newcastle United will hold a minute's silence at next weekend's Premier League opener against Manchester City to pay tribute to two supporters who died on board the fateful flight MH17 recently.
The Magpies will honour John Alder, 63, and Liam Sweeney, 28, who were on board the Malaysian Airlines flight on their way to New Zealand to watch the north east club on their pre-season tour.
It has also been revealed that Magpies skipper Fabricio Coloccini and City captain Vincent Kompany will lay wreaths in the centre of the Sty James' Park pitch before kick-off, accompanied by family members of the two men.
"Our thoughts and our primary concern since the tragic events of 17th July have been focused on supporting the families of John and Liam in any way we can, and paying tribute to the two men in an appropriate and respectful way to reflect the sorrow felt not just from our supporters, staff, management and players but from the football community as a whole," said Newcastle's managing director Lee Charnley.
"We have received so many messages of condolence from across the football family and the compassion expressed by supporters of all allegiances has been very touching."
