Shrewsbury Town fans start fundraiser in honour of Alf
Shrewsbury Town fans have started a charity fundraising campaign in support of former striker Alf Wood after it was revealed the club legend is suffering from dementia.
Members of the Blue and Amber Fanzine are attempting to raise £488 for Dementia UK – the equivalent of £1 for every professional game he played.
They are also urging supporters of the other clubs he played for – Manchester City, Millwall, Hull City, Middlesborough, Walsall and Stafford Rangers – to make donations to the charity.
A statement on the Virgin Money Giving page said: "
We urge fans of all of Alf's former clubs and anyone else to dig deep for a great cause."
