LATICS players turned Easter bunnies when they gave children at the Royal Oldham Hospital a seasonal surprise.
Players visited youngsters on F3 ward to deliver a whole host of chocolate Easter eggs donated by Asda.
The young patients, who will all be spending the Easter break in hospital, were left thrilled with their sweet treats and chatted to their favourite players.
Alan Hardy, chief executive, said: “The children were very surprised but were smiling when we gave them the eggs and there were a few Latics fans among them.”
