Shrewsbury Town's Lenny the Lion is hanging up his costume after 30 years of delighting Salop fans with his cheeky antics.

“That celebration and the snow made me think: ‘I’m going to get a penguin outfit and - if he scores – I'll run on the pitch and do the walk with him.’ I just thought it would be a bit of fun. He added: “The kids absolutely loved it; mascots were still a fairly new thing back then but you could see it brought them so much joy.
