Nostalgia: Injured Huddersfield Town star makes annual awards

A Huddersfield Town player presented the end of season awards to a boys team in Mirfield - despite being released from hospital only hours earlier.

Midfielder Mark Lillis, who is now the academy manager at the Championship club, attended the ceremony only two hours after being discharged from hospital. Mr Lillis had been injured whilst playing for The Terriers.
