Former Arsenal skipper Frank McLintock opened a charity shop in Oakwood on Saturday.

The 72-year-old, who was made an MBE in 1972, opened the Nightingale Cancer Support Centre shop in Bramley Road at 10am.

Manager Shirley Scott said the legend is a “lovely guy” and spent two hours at the shop.

She said: “It was a really good day. The shop is going down well to be honest and we were given some very nice donations.

“So far so good, it was a good day.”

The revamped Nightingale charity shop is the second in the borough – the other in Baker Street in Forty Hill.
