Wolves stars bring festive cheer with visits
Wolves players have been out and about spreading festive cheer to those less fortunate this Christmas.
Stars including striker Nouha Dicko, winger Helder Costa and defender Dominic Iorfa visited four wards at Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital. They took with them bag loads of official club merchandise as presents for the patients, including those on the children's ward.
Club captain Danny Batth and fellow centre-half Richard Stearman travelled to Birmingham where they met with youngsters at the city's Children's Hospital.
Meanwhile, Matt Doherty, Kortney Hause, George Saville and Bright Enobakhare attended the Good Shepherd Ministry Soup Kitchen in Darlington Street, Wolverhampton, where they got involved in serving Christmas dinner complete with roast potatoes cooked by club staff.
Speaking on the visits, Batth, said: "It is always important as players to come away from football and get out into the local community as much as possible. Today's visits are part of the programme of community visits which take place not just at Christmas but all the year around.
"Some of the children we have seen today are going to be in here on Christmas Day, so it was nice to have the opportunity to come down and give them a few early gifts.
"Hopefully it has cheered them up just a little bit and they are all on the mend and will be better soon. You can have good and bad results on a football pitch, but coming here, and seeing some of these kids and their families battling through some really tough times, gives you a fresh perspective on life."
