Jose the kit man teaches Spanish
Jose Enrique paid a visit to Pinehurst Primary School near Anfield to present delighted youngsters with brand-new football kits and take part in a Spanish speaking class.
The left-back handed out shirts as part of the Premier League Players' Kit Scheme which was set up to provide schools, clubs and youth organisations with a full set of strips and training equipment.
The scheme aims to particularly benefit teams from areas with the greatest need and all the equipment is paid for by a Premier League player.
"Today has been great seeing all the smiles on the kids' faces," said Enrique.
"This scheme is fantastic. We all know that grassroots football is important because that's where we all start out and we know that it's important to have the right kit and equipment available."
After the kit presentations, Enrique hosted a Spanish speaking class for 25 boys and girls, asking and answering questions in his native tongue.
The 27-year-old also presented signed Liverpool prizes to the children for their outstanding contributions in class.
"I really enjoyed the class and I was very impressed with how good they were at speaking Spanish. It's important for us as players and role models to get involved in the community," added Enrique.
Kris Farrell, senior teacher at Pinehurst Primary School, said: "It's been great for the kids to have Jose here today.
"Most of the children don't have kits like the ones Jose has donated, so it will definitely give them an extra boost to go out and play sport.
"The Spanish class was definitely unique and amazing for the kids. This is a day they will remember for a long time to come."
