Christmas came early for some Norwich City fans after footballer Todd Cantwell turned up at their door with gifts.

Earlier this month Cantwell, who grew up in Dereham, had asked fans to leave black and white balloons outside their home to receive a visit.

On Monday evening (December 19), the City midfielder took to the streets of Dereham to hunt down balloons and spoil young supporters with presents and selfies.

One City fan Paul Farmer said: "My boy was so excited when Todd came, we tried last year but missed out.

"It has definitely made their Christmas more special"

Posting on Twitter, another said: "Thank you so much, Todd.

"One happy Georgie, thanks again. Enjoy your Christmas!"

Mike Oswick added on social media: "Thank you for visiting my son Logan this evening.

"To say you made his night is an understatement."

The Canaries star did a similar gesture last Christmas prior to moving to Bournemouth on loan.

But Cantwell had urged those who got a visit last year to not put balloons out to give other fans a chance.

The 24-year-old will be visiting homes in the Dereham area until Thursday, December 22.
