Swindon Town have named a stand at their home ground in honour of late Republic of Ireland international Alan McLoughlin.
Manchester-born McLoughlin died at the age of 54 in May.
He spent four years as a player at Swindon, who are currently in League Two, between 1986 and 1990, making 136 appearances.
The 42-time Ireland cap's association with the club was renewed after his retirement as a player when he took charge of the Swindon Town academy from 2016.
In honour of his service to the club, Swindon officials announced that a stand at the County Ground would be named in his honour, with the 'The Alan McLoughlin Town End' unveiled shortly before Saturday's League Two fixture against Carlisle United.
In a statement, Swindon Town said: "Today is a special day for both Alan's family and the Football Club as we remember and pay tribute to a club legend and a much-loved husband, father, friend and colleague.

"We sadly lost Alan in May and the Club wanted to pay tribute to a man who gave his all to Town as both a player and as Head of the Academy.
"Making 136 appearances in Red with 25 goals, McLoughlin will forever be a club icon and he went on to be a key figure in the club's Academy for a number of years.
"As Head of Academy, McLoughlin shaped the lives and careers of so many young men and he was loved and adored by those who played under him and worked alongside him at the club."
McLoughlin was included in the Irelands squad for both Italia 90 and USA 94, scoring a famous goal at Windsor Park in November 1993 against Northern Ireland that sealed qualification for the latter tournament.
