Swedish club AIK swapped children for OAPs as the oldest living members of the club acted as 'mascots' for their Allsvenskan clash against Gefle IF on Sunday.

The senior citizens replaced the regular mascots and were given a rapturous reception as they walked on to the pitch hand in hand with the current AIK squad.

It meant for a slow and steady pre-match but few inside the Friends Arena in Stockholm were bothered in what was a magnificent gesture.

To top their days off, AIK came out on top in the match, their 1-0 win taking them to third place in the table.
