Leeds United player donates season tickets to children's ward.
Today was a special day for the young football fans who are currently spending time on the children's ward at Leeds General Infirmary.
Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson stopped by for a visit, and donated two seasons tickets to the ward for the children to use.

The 26-year-old Swedish international used his own money to pay for the two tickets, with the intention that each week a different family can come and watch the team play at Elland Road.

Jansson explained to BBC Radio Leeds what led him to make the gesture:
"When I was a kid, the biggest day during the week for me was the day I got to watch my team play. I hope, because of this these children can have the same feeling on Saturdays. It's a small thing for me to do, but I hope it makes a big difference."
I hope the families and kids enjoy their day's at ER.
Well Done Pontus.

A nice gesture to give some respite to children who may need it.

Maybe his mentality is to think long term.
What a fantastic gesture from one of our top players.
