Everton’s first-team players brought smiles to the wards of Alder Hey Children’s Hospital on Thursday when the entire squad paid their annual visit to the West Derby facility.
Sam Allardyce, his coaching staff and all of the senior squad handed out a raft of Everton goodies, all donated by the Club’s official retail partner Fanatics, including cuddly toys, blankets, cushions and Everton mugs. They also spent time chatting to patients and their families, passing on their best wishes to many of whom are set to spend the entire festive period on the wards of the local children’s hospital.
