We gave everything to him.

Greece goalscorer Vangelis Pavlidis speaking to ITV about George Baldock: "It was a really special day for us because of George. We are people, and it's a special night because of him.

"[We have thought about him] a lot since we heard it yesterday. It was a difficult moment for us because George was part of the team. Special guy. We have to play for him and it doesn't matter the score today. We gave everything for him."
