U’s FANS had a chance to check out two of the club’s stars at the checkout of a Colchester supermarket.

Goalkeeper Ben Williams and midfielder David Perkins met supporters at the Co-op supermarket in Peartree Road, Stanway.

The store recently started selling club merchandise, including hats, caps, scarves and mugs, along with back-to-school goods, such as rucksacks and boot bags.

Shop manager Rob Miller said: “We were delighted to welcome the players.

“Many of my colleagues are big Colchester United fans and the way the club’s merchandise is selling proves many of our customers are, too.”
