Youngsters were treated to a surprise visit from a top footballer.

The footballer, who plays for Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, heard about the youth club from a parent of one of the young members.

CYP youth worker Kerry Johnson, 43, from Hellesdon, said: "It was a bit of a surprise. It was raise the young people's aspirations and make them think they could do anything in life. It was a morale boost.

"The young people don't usually get visitors like that. It was great."
