Personal touches

• Jersey number
• Team or club name in text
• Coach or player years

Epitaph ideas

• The final whistle
• Forever our number 10
• Scoring in heaven
• Played with heart
• Back of the net

Design tips

• Club crests are trademarks; use team colours or names in text.
• A jersey number is a subtle tribute.
• See sports fan ideas.

Sample layout for a soccer player

Team colours as painted accents show loyalty without trademarked crests.

Coaches, referees and lifelong supporters

Soccer communities are wider than the players on the field:

• Coaches — open with "Coach" and list seasons and teams on the back.
• Referees — a whistle and a line like "Fair to the final whistle".
• Club volunteers — the club name and years of service.
• Supporters of a club abroad — team colours and the city name in text.

Youth clubs sometimes hold a memorial game or name an award after a coach; the stone can mention it.

Graveside tributes on visits

Soccer players' teammates and families often honour them through the game:

• Leave a signed mini ball at the start of each season.
• Hold a memorial match and bring the team photo.
• Wear their number on visits.
• Bring team-colour flowers on their birthday.

Clubs sometimes retire a player's number or name a youth award after them.

Key Takeaways

• Balls and nets are favourites.
• Jersey numbers personalise the stone.
• Avoid trademarked crests.
