Police say paramedics were called to an address at in the village, near Shrewsbury, at 16:40 and found the man dead with serious injuries to his head and torso.

Efforts are now being made to trace the man's movements over the past few days and his next-of-kin have been informed.

Shrewbury Town hopes to learn within weeks if it's got permission from the Sports Ground Safety Authority to install a safe-standing section in its stadium.

The club is the first in England and Wales to bid for a certificate since the authority opened the door to applications earlier this year.

Chief executive Brian Caldwell said it should create a better atmosphere because "more people are encouraged to sing and get behind the team".

Shrewsbury-based Ferco Seating, external are preparing to carry out the work after installing 2,900 seats at Celtic's Parkhead stadium last year.

The company also installed a small safe-standing section at Bristol City's Ashton Gate stadium in 2014, but they are only used for rugby matches.

Police have described a robbery in Shrewsbury on Friday as a "particularly nasty attack" and say it could have resulted in serious injury for the victim.

It was a massive surprise when they beat the Scottish champions Celtic 1-0 in the home leg of their qualifying match last season.
