Oswestry trip for the squad to deliver presents
Shrewsbury Town players continued their tour of the local hospitals by paying a visit to Oswestry's Orthopaedic Hospital.
Midfielder Nicky Wroe played Father Christmas during the visit to Oswestry, pulling hats, scarves, toys and goody bags out of a big red sack while Jack Gwilliams, Ryan Woods, Darren Jones, Luke Summerfield and Jermaine Grandison handed them out.
Eight-year-old Reuben Latham had just returned to the ward from surgery on his leg when the players dropped in.
Reuben, from Telford, was delighted to be given a hat and scarf and put them on straightaway.
His mum, Lisa, said: “Visits like this are definitely a good thing. It perks the kids up when they’re in hospital.
“Reuben’s only in for a day this time, but last time he was in for a week. It can be a bit gloomy being in for so long, so when something like that happens it’s really good.”
Defender Darren Jones said it was something they had all enjoyed doing.
