The Prince of Wales talks to youngsters in Shrewsbury Town shirts during his visit to St George's Park
The pupils had been invited to take part in a tournament celebrating the occasion by the Shrewsbury Town Foundation, Shrewsbury Town Football Club's official charity. It proved a successful day on the pitch too, with the girls' side winning their competition and the boys' team making it through to the semi-final.
Mr Tisdale said:"He was spending quite a bit of time speaking to one of the young boys, He said to him well done for being a goalkeeper because you have to be brave and sometimes you have to take a few shots, and he said his son George has to take a few shots from himself when he goes in goal.
"That was really inspirational for the girls, they were made up by that – and we were really inspired ourselves because Gareth was the one who came over to us." Mr Tisdale said the day had reflected the ethos of the foundation – and the values of Shrewsbury Town – to be professional, proactive, passionate, caring, inclusive, and fun.
