Thing is it happens on some occasions. My experience is in general the vast majority respect these things but from time to time a few knuckleheads don't.
I must say I don't agree with the numerous minutes of silence we have at football matches. I often have to ask my neighbour what it's for? He usually doesn't know either. I rather object to being forced to take part in something which I have no knowledge of........still I only have to give a minute to someone else which is a very tiny thing to ask.
I don't mind so much when its an old boy I've never really heard of who played for the team back in the day. Its a respectful nod to the past, and probably means a lot to whoever has been left behind.
