Baldock was laid to rest on Wednesday at a funeral service in Milton Keynes.
The ceremony was attended by a host of his teammates from Baldock’s lengthy career.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was joined by Alli, Henderson, and Oli McBurnie.
Henderson was spotted earlier this month making his own tribute on the touchline ahead of England’s Nations League game with Greece.
The goalkeeper spent two years with Baldock at Bramall Lane during a loan spell from Manchester United.
He would later describe Baldock as a “great teammate, great player and also a great family man.”
Born in Buckinghamshire, Baldock had Greek roots through his grandmother and played for the country 12 times.
He graduated from MK Dons’ youth set-up, where Alli also played before his move to Tottenham in 2015.
Baldock made his name with the Blades, playing over 200 times for the club 2017 and 2024.
He had joined Panathinaikos from South Yorkshire this summer.
The all-action defender made four appearances for the Greek side, including three in the league.
His most recent appearance came against Olympiacos on October 6.
