Anthony Gordon spoke of his desire to support the streets he grew up on as the Everton academy graduate dedicated his time and money to vital charity work.
The 21-year-old went to Asda in Bootle on Thursday morning and filled seven trolleys before donating the goods towards helping families struggling during the cost of living crisis. The Everton starlet was acting on his own initiative as he loaded bags with cereal, tinned food and toiletries then drove them to Everton in the Community's weekly food market off County Road. He understands being in a position to support the life-saving initiative is a privilege and is keen to do what he can.
Speaking between picture and autograph requests as he helped on the market stalls, he explained to the ECHO : "I know the struggles that can go on at this time of the year. It can be a really expensive time to live and obviously some people are not fortunate enough to be able to afford certain things. So me being in the position I am, I just wanted to give back and help out as much as I could."
