And he missed it

Taking the michael out of other team's supporters is nothing new but a Shrewsbury supporter went the whole hog yesterday by getting the PA man at the New Meadow to wish a certain Hereford United supporter a happy birthday.

The announcement was made at half-time but unfortunately the recipient missed it as he was otherwise occupied.

Ratcliffesghost, a well respected Shrewsbury supporter, organised the scam which wished a certain Hereford United supporter, Mr Powis, a happy 69th birthday. It also wished him all the best in his 12 month sabatical from alcohol.

Chris Powis, pictured on the FunBus yesterday, is understood to be somewhat younger than 69.

It is also thought unlikely that he will partake in any sabatical.
