Pompey have been spreading plenty of Christmas cheer with the traditional visit to QA Hospital.
The entire first team squad and members of the coaching team turned up to meet patients, pose for photographs and hand out presents.
Players got into the Christmas spirit by wearing a variety of novelty hats, including a present, tree and turkey!

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: âItâs a very good thing that weâve able to do and itâs nice to see the kidsâ faces when they get their presents.
âItâs exciting for them, while itâs also important for the players to see a different side of life and how the community can support each other.â
Kal Naismith added: âItâs brilliant to come down and see the kids. Most of them were smiling anyway, but we were able to pick them up a bit more.
"Some of them have just had operations and were feeling a little tired, so it was great to see them pick up when the boys came round."

âItâs also nice for the parents to be able to chat with someone different and see the children so happy. It puts a smile on our faces as well.â
Defender Jack Whatmough said: âMost of us have the luxury of being at home over Christmas, but that isnât always the case for everyone.
âSome people will be here instead and so itâs nice if we can cheer them up a bit to help them through their illness.â

The club would like to thank PMC, EA Sports and the London Supportersâ Club for their generous donation of presents.
