THE 'Barrow Week of Giving' began on Monday with The Bluebirds aiming to spread some Christmas cheer and give back to fans at home and abroad.

As part of the Week of Giving, the club paid a visit to Hamburg-based Barrow super fan Valentin to surprise him for his birthday.

Valentin supports The Bluebirds from Germany with his favourite Barrow player being right-back Tyrell Warren.

After being through a tough time recently, the club jumped at the chance to make Valentin's birthday with a birthday card signed by the squad, along with his very own Barrow shirt and other goodies.

This Barrow Week of Giving, the club is trying to give something back to our fanbase and raise a smile this Christmas.

Yesterday's prize was a pair of star winger Ben Whitfield's match-worn boots.
