Caring Scunthorpe United dedicate Crawley win to Epworth cancer victim Alexander Strong
SCUNTHORPE United have dedicated Saturday’s win over Crawley Town to seven-year-old cancer sufferer Alexander Strong, who lost his battle with the illness just over a fortnight ago.
A minute’s applause was held at Glanford Park before the start of the game, which the Iron won 2-1, in memory of the brave Epworth youngster.
Alexander died from neuroblastoma – a form of children's cancer – at Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, near Sheffield on Friday, January 25.
“The players and I would like to dedicate Saturday’s win to the little boy, Alexander Strong, who lost his life,” said United manager Brian Laws.
