Everton players bring Christmas joy to Alder Hey Children's Hospital

Everton players sacrificed a rare break from training on Wednesday to bring some Christmas cheer to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.

The Toffees certainly deserved to put their feet up after a hard-fought win over Arsenal at Goodison Park on Tuesday evening, but instead got together to help those who won't be able to spend Christmas in the comfort of their own homes.

Club captain Phil Jagielka lead a large contingent of players through the halls of the famous hospital carrying large bags of gifts to be given away.
