WATCH: Wolves stars Dicko and Keita wish young hero a merry Christmas
Wolves players rounded off a series of seasonal goodwill gestures with a visit to a young fan who has spent the year helping to take care of his poorly sister.
The Wolves Wishes scheme saw players take time out of their hectic winter schedule to visit fans who have gone out of their way to help others or are in need of a boost before Christmas.
Regan Tomlinson, a 12-year-old pupil at Coppice School of Performing Arts, was told on his birthday earlier this year that his little sister Freya had been diagnosed with cancer.
He has dedicated as much time as possible since then to visiting her at Birmingham Children's Hospital, as well as raising money for the hospitals ward by walking to the top of Snowdon.
As a Christmas surprise, his step-dad Craig Powers and his Auntie, Karen Harvey, asked if Wolves could help cheer him up.
Regan's step-dad Craig said: "Regan's had a really tough year.
"After the initial diagnosis Regan didn't see his mom, sister and other members of his family for over ten weeks.
"He isn't one to ask questions – he has just been there when Freya has been at home.
"When she is awake he plays with her and when she drops off to sleep he goes out to play with his mates.
"Then as soon as she is awake again he is by her side, making sure she is OK."
Karen added: "Regan is a smashing lad who really deserves a treat after this horrible year."
Wolves players Nouha Dicko and Ibrahim Keita surprised Regan during a school class.
A message was played on video screen with the players wishing the class a happy Christmas, before Kenny Jackett revealed that there was going to be a special presentation for Regan.
Nouha then arrived to present Regan with an away kit and the news that he was to be Wolves mascot for the away game at Blackburn, including accommodation for his family at the team hotel the night before.
Nouha and Ibrahim meanwhile stayed on after the presentation to take part in a French lesson with other students.
Regan said: "I was just doing my lesson and Nouha Dicko turned up and it was a bit bizarre after that.
"He said that I'm going to be a mascot at Blackburn and meet all the players and everything – it is amazing.
"My sister has been in hospital this year and hasn't been too well so it has been hard for us.
"It's going to be mad when I get home and tell my family.
"I wasn't expected anything today – we were just going to put the Christmas tree up.
"I can't believe it."
