Forget Deco. Todd Cantwell is giving Santa Claus a run for his money this year.

In a post on Twitter, Norwich City player Cantwell announced he was giving presents to fans with yellow and green balloons outside their houses in the Dereham area.

The kind-hearted gesture received hundreds of likes and interactions on social media with many replies full of praise for the 23-year-old.

Some supporters even replied with pictures of their balloons outside their houses.

Fan Phil Sherwood said: "I think what Todd is doing is lovely and in the true spirit of Christmas, he is a good local lad and my boys love him."

Despite a difficult campaign for the club so far this season, it is clear that Cantwell is still providing City fans with special memories off the pitch.
