LITTLE Alfie Ledgeway was reunited with his best friend Alfie Mawson last Saturday, when he was a mascot at Swansea FC.
Alfie, five, of West Street, Wombwell, suffers from Arnold chiari malformation and sleep apnoea, and struck up a friendship with Mawson which continued after he moved to the Welsh side.
He looked overjoyed to see the former Reds’ player again at the match against Crystal Palace. The pair shared a hug, and Alfie walked out with Mawson ahead of the game.
The Chronicle told last week how Alfie will head to Great Ormond Street Hospital in January to see a specialist about his illness.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
