Excelsior Supporters Shower Sick Children With Stuffed Animals

Eredivisie side Excelsior supporters "made it rain cuddly toys" during their game against Feyenoord on Sunday "after finding out they would be sat above a group of sick children," according to Joe Strange of the London DAILY MAIL. Feyenoord "had invited patients from Rotterdam's Sophia Children's Hospital and their families to attend the Eredivisie clash for free." The kids "got a memento to take away from their special day after the visiting fans launched hundreds of gifts from the top tier of De Kuip." Stuffed bears, lions, penguins and "plenty more were left strewn around the stands and on the area in front of the pitch, with stewards helping to ensure they did not go to waste" (DAILY MAIL, 8/20).
