Emotional moments galorePrior to the game, Guus Meeuwis sang a sing on the pitch the song ‘The road’, a modest and subdued song, which he dedicated to Frits Philips. PSV Chairman Rob Westerhof made a short speech, while standing beside the seat that would be taken by ‘Mister Frits’.All spectators raised the match programme, called PSV Flits, which had been produced in such a format that it could be unfolded, to honour Frits Philip and the entire stadium was coloured red and white.An impressive minute’s silence was observed.
