WE have all read of the antics of some badly-behaved professional footballers – but there’s another side to the story.

Today, the Daily Echo reports how AFC Bournemouth player Marc Pugh turned up at our offices with bags full of gifts for our Toy Appeal.

Recently, we reported Cherries captain Tommy Elphick’s hospital visit to a young fan with leukaemia.

And last week, team-mate Harry Arter donated to help replace Christmas lights at Julia’s House.

Regardless of how the Cherries get on against Liverpool tonight, that’s a hat-trick to be proud of.
