On Thursday, December 13, 2024, Liverpool FC players made their annual Christmas visit to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in West Derby. The squad, led by manager Arne Slot, spent the day spreading festive cheer, handing out presents, and engaging in heartwarming activities with patients and their families.
Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah were among the star players who took part in the visit. Van Dijk expressed his admiration for the hospital staff, saying, “Alder Hey is an amazing hospital with amazing people that work here. It’s a special place where hopefully everyone gets better.” He added that it was a privilege to be able to bring some joy to the children during the holiday season.
Salah echoed van Dijk’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of gratitude and humility. “The first thing is always that it reminds us to be grateful for our health. You see the people who suffer from stuff and we just take that for granted. It gives me things inside me to stay humble and be grateful for our health.”
The visit was not just about giving gifts; it was also about creating lasting memories. Curtis Jones, who recently became a father, shared his experience of meeting a young girl with a big smile on her face, saying, “It’s a difficult time, but you see things like that and it cheers you up.”
The Liverpool squad’s visit was a highlight of the year for many patients and their families. Gill Kennedy, celebrity, VIP, and events manager at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, said, “LFC’s Christmas visit is a real highlight in our calendar and such a fun and exciting day for our patients, families, and staff. Being able to create special memories is so important, especially at this time of the year.”
The players’ efforts were met with smiles and gratitude from everyone at the hospital. The visit served as a reminder of the power of sports to bring joy and hope, especially during the holiday season.
As the Liverpool FC squad made their way through the hospital, they left behind a trail of happiness and hope, ensuring that every child enjoyed their Christmas and felt a little closer to home.
