Steven Gerrard and his Reds squad visited the base in West Derby to spread some festive cheer among the youngsters currently on the wards there.
U18s midfielder Curtis Jones said: “It is great to be able to cheer the kids up by handing out gifts and meeting the children as they look to overcome illness.
“The kids are all really brave and keep smiling despite it being a really tough time of year for them to be in hospital. Visiting Alder Hey as a local lad is extra special and hopefully we have given the kids a lift ahead of Christmas.
