That's nice.

One of my dad's friends died from a brain tumour years ago, he was an Arsenal fan and I know some of the players of the time visited him when he was in hospital. I don't know how that was arranged. Footballers are generally unlikeable cocks these days, it's nice to know some of them use their ludicrous amounts of free time to brighten someone's day.
