There hasn't been much to smile about for Aston Villa fans this week - but one member of the squad has given supporters something to feel proud of tonight.

Striker Rudy Gestede has not had the most prolific campaign on the pitch since arriving at Villa with just five goals to his name this season.

But he has been making a big difference off the pitch - by helping to support the homeless in Birmingham city centre.

Pictures circulated on social media on Friday night showed the former Blackburn frontman making tea at an event in Albert Street.

Jordan Goodridge posted on Facebook: "To be serving the tea with Rudy Gestede with help the homeless and needy on a Friday night on Albert Street is incredible.

"He bought some food along to help contribute to the feed tonight. #respect"

Well done to you, Rudy!
