BOLTON Wanderers showed that not just their footballers are Premiership class -- their groundsmen are too!
Two of the club's green-fingered team visited the VisionAid charity's headquarters in Junction Road, Deane -- to cut the lawn.
The groundsmen took just two hours to cut the grass, compared to the four hours it took charity workers to complete the task the last time.
VisionAid was Bolton Wanderers' chosen charity last season and the club let off hundreds of balloons at the last league game, against Sheffield United in May, to raise more money.
So far the club has helped bring in £20,000 to the charity's coffers boosting its fund to move to the new base.
Lesley Green, VisionAid's director general, said: "The garden was so long we were losing ourselves in it, let alone the children.
"We are very grateful to Bolton Wanderers for sending down their groundstaff to help us out.
"They have been a very big help to us this year and we can't say thank you enough."
A Bolton Wanderers spokesman said: "We were delighted to help them in getting their new premises into shape."
