There’s a buzz going around Great Ormond Street hospital’s Koala ward. After the England captain, Leah Williamson, and her Arsenal teammate Steph Catley visited the previous week, rumours have been spreading that there could be some more very special guests arriving in the buildup to Christmas.
“I think there’s a little bit of a rumble,” says Danny Bell, a specialist paediatric physiotherapist in neuro-oncology who works with children recovering from brain tumours. “I can see an Arsenal shirt out there, so that might just be a very big coincidence! They may know the team involved, but I don’t think they know any individuals. So I’m really looking forward to seeing their faces as it dawns on them who is going to be here.”
