Hospital patients had the pleasure of Dan James’s company this week when the Leeds United winger dropped in. The city’s St James’s University Hospital was recently recognised for its success in helping to reduce functional loss among elderly patients and Leeds United Foundation has been involved.
“It’s been great to come along and interact with everyone and to see everyone with a smile on their face,” said James. “It is nice for me to see a bit of a different environment and get the chance to know them all. “They all know Sophie from the foundation really well now, but when we told them we were going to have a player come down they were all really excited to meet him.”
