The young patients of Sheffield Children’s Hospital were visited by one of the Steel City’s best this week when Harry Maguire paid a visit.

The homegrown Sheffield United star who now plays for Manchester United and England visited patients and their families to talk all things football and spread some festive cheer.

As a child, Harry was a patient at Sheffield Children’s and the visit gave him a great chance to see how different the hospital is today.

During the visit, which was planned in conjunction with The Children’s Hospital Charity, Harry gave away autographed footballs, annuals, and postcards to kids and parents in honor of the holiday season.

Harry even got to meet Alana, his biggest fan, while he was there.

Some of the patients Harry had the opportunity to meet on the wards are depicted in these images released by the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.
