Also in attendance were women’s players Tara O’Hanlon and Kerstin Casparij. The annual visit saw our players chatting with youngsters who are set to spend the festive season away from their homes.
The City stars posed for pictures, played games - air hockey, FC25 and table football to name but three - and took selfies for the delighted youngsters in an event organised by CITC.
As always, presents were shared, spirits were raised, smiles were seen all around and hearts were won in what is always a special and emotional occasion.
