Young Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery 'fell asleep cuddling Jermain Defoe' as the club continue to support the cancer-stricken kid.
Bradley, 5, suffers from Neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer, and has been cared for by his favourite team on a number of occasions this season.
And on Thursday a group of Sunderland players, including Defoe, Sebastian Larsson, John O'Shea and Vito Mannone, stopped by to see him in hospital and offer him a hug.
'Bradley is doing well and has cheered up after having some very special visitors,' his family wrote on his Facebook page.
