Somerset Park welcomed the Alzheimer's Group on Wednesday for a tour of the famous old stadium.

14 of the hardy souls turned out in the freezing temperatures for a guided tour round the boardroom, changing rooms and pitch side led by Ayr dignitary Hugh Hunter who gave the guests a Somerset Park history lesson like a true professional.

Former Ayr United stalwart Peter Price was one of the group and once again graced the hallways of the old Somerset building and was quick to point out that a tile was still missing in the same place as it was it his playing days.

Also in appearance was a Celtic player from season 1946-47, Tommy MacDonald who scored 7 times in 13 matches.

The man who organised the event, George Jaconelli said, "This was a great day out for these guys. They meet every Wednesday at the Parkstone Hotel between 11 and 1 so to be able to walk round the normally unseen parts of Somerset Park was something special for all involved. They were all like little boys again with some of the guys wanting to get on the park but unfortunately the pitch is being protected from the frost so they couldn't get on the pitch for a kickabout."

The Alzheimer's group Ayrshire is a noble cause and Ayr United and Ayr United Football Academy were over the moon to be able to have helped out and give these guys something back for all they have given us over the years.
