Southampton treat two young visually-impaired fans during lockdown by giving them life-changing equipment to help them watch their heroes play

The world of football may be in a state of lockdown right now, but Southampton have used their quiet period wisely by giving an incredible gift to two young fans.

With no Premier League action to focus on, Saints have turned their attentions elsewhere and have bought two visually-impaired supporters some life-changing equipment that will come in very handy when football does eventually return.

Teaming up with sponsors Virgin Media and VisionAid, Saints initially surprised 14-year-old Joshua and 10-year-old Florence with a special tour of the stadium and a trial run of the equipment before the lockdown began.
