Dietmar Hamann Visits 11-Year-Old Liverpool Fan in Hospital After Twitter Appeal

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann made good on his promise to meet a boy diagnosed with leukaemia on Monday.

The ex-Germany international responded to a Twitter plea from 10-year-old Archie Palmer, who wanted a Reds star to meet his friend in hospital.

While Hamann wasn't sure if he'd fit the bill, the 42-year-old responded to the request on Twitter on Sunday, and he was pictured at the hospital bedside of Myles Hemsley the following day.

Hemsley (11, per Liverpool Echo) is undergoing treatment for leukaemia in Worcestershire, per Daily Mirror, which is over 100 miles from Anfield.

If the picture of the three together is anything to go by, Hamann's trip was a definite success. Great work from all involved.
