Workington Town player thanked

A woman who came round from a coma after being visited by a Workington Town player returned to hospital to say thank you.

Yvonne Matthews had suffered a heart attack and had been unconscious for three weeks before Marc Shackley, who also works at the West Cumberland Hospital, visited her bedside.

Mrs Matthews woke up following his visit and has now made a good recovery.

Her husband says Marc and the nurses at intensive care are the only reason his wife is alive.

Mr Matthews is planning to try and raise enough money for six Ipads for the Intensive Care Unit as a thank you.

Marc said he was happy to help.
