Elliott Bennett has hailed the Marvin Morgan Memorial Cup as ‘incredible’ after their first game at the Croud Meadow.
The clash featured ex-players and YouTube stars in honour of former Shrewsbury Town fan-favourite Marvin Morgan. Fresh Ego FC, the fashion brand created by Morgan during his time in Shropshire, took on a Content Creator XI in the sunshine at the Meadow in a game which finished 6-6 at full-time – before Fresh Ego FC won on penalties.
And Bennett, who only left Salop a few weeks ago, said it was a superb day for a great cause as they raised money for Joe Thompson – who is undergoing treatment for cancer for the third time“I always found him such a lovely charming human being. He was the first player to kind of break out from just being a footballer and doing the clothing brand thing.
“The day was brilliant,” Alexander said. “Jerri and myself, Marvin’s partner, came here about three weeks ago on Marvin’s birthday, and the club mentioned getting a day together.
