Brighton and Hove Albion football club will hold a one minute silence to remember groundsman Matthew Grimstone and other victims of the Shoreham air crash.
Matthew had worked on the groundstaff for seven years but also played football for Worthing United football club.
In a statement on the Brighton FC website, the club said:
"Brighton & Hove Albion employee Matt Grimstone and Seagulls supporter Jacob Schilt are both believed to be among the victims of yesterday's tragic Shoreham air crash.
"Matt, a member of the club's ground staff at the club's training facility in Lancing, a keen amateur footballer and talented goalkeeper, was on his way to play for Worthing United against Loxwood in the Southern Combination Premier Division at Lyons Way, along with his Mavericks teammate Jacob.
"The vehicle in which the pair were travelling to the match was hit by the aircraft which crashed on the A27 at Shoreham during the airshow."
