Supporters of Everton have aired their love for a post from Dominic Calvert-Lewin after the squad visited Alder Hey hospital.
The initial post came from the hospital’s official Twitter account, with the moving story of a young girl who had told the English striker that the next time they met she would be walking, which she was (as per Alder Hey).
Calvert-Lewin then replied to the post stating that it was a ‘lovely surprise’ and that he was looking forward to seeing her at the next Toffees home game (per Dominic Calvert-Lewin), which had Everton fans tearing up.
