Manchester City took their four trophies to Willow Wood Hospice to visit lifelong fan Mark Whittaker.
Manchester City's four trophies have been from Australia to India to China to Abu Dhabi - and will soon visit Norway, Argentina, Brazil and the USA. The club are also making sure to keep visiting deserving supporters wherever possible - as highlighted by two visits to seriously ill fans on the opposite side of the world.
After returning from Australia, last week, the trophies were part of a similar surprise for fan Mark Whittaker, a lifelong City fan and is receiving care at Willow Wood Hospice in Ashton-under-Lyne after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma in March this year, and now requires 24-hour holistic and therapeutic care.
So City brought the trophies to Willow Wood, to the delight of Mark and wife Julie, as he recalled a life of following the Blues up and down the country - and even in Europe, where he and two friends drove to Dortmund for last year's Champions League clash. As well as running a driving school and photography studio, Mark used to be a steward at the Etihad, but gave that up when Pep Guardiola became manager to watch as a fan with his father.
"Football is a blessing. Watching City win is a blessing. I never thought I'd see any of that in my lifetime. To be woken up by these trophies is absolutely beautiful." "We want to try to make a positive difference to their life. A hospice is about living with a life-limiting condition as best as a patient can so they can still be as independent as possible for as long as they can and to help them keep their role and identity and feel they have a purpose in life.
