Mansfield Town footballers deliver Easter eggs to poorly children at King’s Mill Hospital

Assistant manager Gary Crosby and first team coach Andy Garner made the visit along with goalkeeper Scott Flinders, defender Riley Harbottle, midfielders Ollie Clarke, Jason Law and Stephen Quinn, as well as forwards Rhys Oates, Lucas Akins and James Gale.

The players spent time talking to young patients, parents and nurses before presenting the kids with chocolate eggs on the children’s ward.

Stags’ captain Ollie Clarke said: “It was a privilege for us to visit King’s Mill Hospital and to make a special Easter delivery to the children and their families.

“It is important for us as players to see people in the community, to show our support and let them know that we are here and that we can make small gestures such as this.”
