• Minute’s applause will take place just before kick-off
• Death of Danish coach Möller Nielsen will also be marked

The Football Association has confirmed there will be a minute’s applause before England’s friendly against Denmark in memory of Sir Tom Finney.

Finney died on 14 February, aged 91. He made more than 400 league appearances for Preston North End between 1946 and 1960 and won 76 England caps.

To honour England’s joint-sixth all-time top scorer, there will be a minute’s applause just before kick-off at next Wednesday’s friendly against Denmark at Wembley.

The FA confirmed that both teams will wear black armbands. Finney’s family have also been invited to the game.

Finney’s funeral will take place on Thursday at Preston Minster with the cortege starting at Preston North End’s Deepdale stadium.

Denmark will also honour Richard Möller Nielsen, who coached their national team to victory at the European Championship in 1992. Möller Nielsen died on 13 February, aged 76.
