Shrews boss Mike Jackson puts his foot in it
Shrewsbury Town manager Mike Jackson put his foot in it – as his players started to boot the club's League One survival fears into touch.
The Great Escape is on after Town's 1-0 victory against Stevenage at the Greenhous Meadow, which left them just two points from safety.
After Shrews' players had tangled with the visitors on the pitch, boss Jackson literally kicked the bucket on the touchline at the end of the match.
He regained his footing and kicked the stray instrument out of harm's way,.
The drama brought much to the amusement of the home faithful – and the smiles stayed on the fans faces. There's real hope that Shrewsbury will upset the odds and secure a third season in League One, after Jon Taylor's second-half strike came up trumps.
The home side hung on despite going down to 10-men because of midfielder Asa Hall's red card, the final whistle sounding to a loud chorus of cheers around the ground.
