I dunno. I'm not trying to criticise the guy, but at times like that surely there are more important things than football. I know people deal with grief in their own ways, but if your kid has just died it seems a little inappropriate to go out and play sports.

Again, I'm not criticising him, it just makes me feel a bit uneasy.

If you've been helpless, it is a relief to be able to have an impact.

If every thought is too painful, it is a relief to act.

If nothing else works, exhaustion is the nearest thing to peace
 
From the Telegraph

Such trivial matters as moaning managers, bickering prima donnas and relegation battles were put into stark perspective at the Keepmoat Stadium last night as Billy Sharp displayed remarkable levels of bravery after opting to play despite the tragic loss of his two-day-old son Luey on Saturday.

truly feel sad for the man, it was a great act from him to play despite losing his son.
 
Carlos Tevez - £250,000 a week. Refuses to play because he doesn't feel up to it.

Billy Sharp - £10,000 a week. Will play two days after the tragic loss of his two day old son.

Carlos, hang your head in shame.

This. That scumbag is a disgrace. I hope Billy and his partner can move on and keep trying to raise a family, and I hope their little lad rests in peace, and shines on the rest of his dads career. I love footballers like him, honest, hard working people doing what they love, and then you look at Tevez. He makes me so angry, especially when you see the tribute of Billy Sharp. Credit to Doncaster and Middlesbrough, as well as the fans of both clubs who took part in a minutes applause.

Its a terrible shame, but I don't think this should be continually brought up, and I don't think Billy Sharp gives a toss about what Carlos Tevez gets paid. Loads of players do the 'not playing at all due to contract discussions', Modric did it this season, its irrelevant. Also £10,000 a week isn't peanuts either.

Really feel for Billy Sharp, and pleased he managed to play, but no need to drag divs like Tevez into the situation.
 
Good of the ref not to book him.
Utmost respect for the guy, so sad. <peacedove>
 
An absoulote inspiration to everyone involved in football. From a millwall fan. what an amazing person(makes me hate tevez even more)

Great story and one that restores some of my lost faith in our great game. I understand your sentiment Kid Canary and I think many would think the same way. I went straight to work the day after my father died. He was no age really and it was a monumental blow as I'd not long had my first daughter (his first grandchild), he'd only seen her twice. I couldn't face sitting around thinking about nothing else all day, picturing his face, and for once found work therapeutic. Everyone deals with loss in different ways, and you never know how you will till it happens. There is no prescriptive way to do so and even what can seem callous to some is the best way to others.

Hi - Cardiff City fan here.

Your story bears an uncanny resemblance to my own - I too went straight back to work the day after my father died, and he too only saw my then only son twice. I did eventually take some time off - after the funeral when the grief really did hit like a hammer blow - it comes in waves & there's sod all you can do about it.

Anyway, I'm just popping in the pay my respects to Louie Sharpe, who scored an amazing goal under such difficult personal circumstances. I think we'll all remember that one, and why.
