For the second consecutive year the Saddlers will step into Christmas at the top of the League Two table, with the players and coaches receiving plenty of well wishes from staff at Walsall Manor Hospital as they work towards that ultimate goal.

Members of the first team squad present included Charlie Lakin, Brandon Comley and Jamie Jellis, who were all on hand to hand presents to 3-year-old Grayson Jackson and 10-month old Otis Smith in the children's ward.

They also visited other wards and bumped into Saddlers fans including John Lewis, who looked delighted to meet Lakin, Comley, Barrett, Jellis and Evan Weir.

Here are some of the best photos from the Christmas visit:
