[edit] This is not just a football practice
Does anyone have any more info on the origins of the Guard of Honour ? --Spewmaster 04:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What exactly IS it?
The way the article is written right now, it says that, in football, giving a "guard of honour" consists simply of applauding when the other team comes onto the field. Even as a football outsider, it seems to me like this practice must involve more than just clapping for it to have such a formal name. Can someone clarify? zellin t / c 13:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Pretty much standing either side of the team who've won the title as they enter the field of play. I've no idea how long the tradition goes back so am not prepared to add anything ~ (can't be bothered to sign in)
