ALL it needed to mark Gary Shaw's passing was a goal by someone with blond hair.

The second was from local boy Jacob Ramsey.
A VAR call for handball wiped out a strike from Jhon Duran.
Of course, it might have been stretching a point to suggest that Brummie 80s' heartthrobs Duran Duran could enter this comparison - but not by much.
