POORLY children in the  Diana, Princess Of Wales Hospital received an early Christmas present on Monday - a visit from the Grimsby Town squad.

Paul Hurst, Chris Doig and members of the Town team were there to spread a little festive cheer.

Youngsters’ faces lit up as players including Craig Disley, Lenell John-Lewis and James McKeown arrived bearing some special GTFC gifts.

Town  boss Paul Hurst said: "We are always happy to come and try to provide some Christmas cheer.

"We hope the children will be on their way home soon but for those who are in for a longer time we try to put a smile on their faces at a time they are in a place they don't want to be in." 

A video of the day is coming soon.
