Spare a thought for some sick children

I was watching the TV earlier this week, and there was a bit of news footage about players visiting sick children in hospital. The players in question were actually Aston Villa and Birmingham players.

Then on Christmas Eve I came across a site which aims to help sick children (and their families) feel a little better by sending email or snail-mail messages to them. The site is called Postpals and is available by clicking here.

If many readers of this site had got their wish as kids, they'd now be playing footy for their favourite team (I assume LFC!) - and they'd have been quite possibly visiting a hospital this week to sign autographs and so on.

So without having to spend any money, you could do some good for some children here in the UK. A small amount of your time over Christmas could make a big difference to these kids. And in a way, you're fulfilling a part of that childhood dream of becoming a footballer!

If I find a site that helps you fulfill the other aspects of being a professional footballer, I'll let you know!

Merry Christmas.
