Hide AdPemberton said: "I spoke to him on his own at the training ground because I thought it was important to do that out of respect to him and his father.
"He thanked me, to be fair to him.
"The conversation that we had was a good conversation.
"It must be difficult for him, I have been in that position before with my son at Sheffield United.
"It is a difficult situation and it can't be easy for him.
"He was a man, he was good, so fair play to him and full credit to him."
