ARSENAL stars Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna get furry for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

The players wore their animal costumes for a short film called Fundraising Day in aid of GOSH - the Gunners' Charity of the Season.

The film sees the players and club manager Arsène Wenger join forces with four patients from the hospital as they take to the streets to fundraise for the charity.

The players will also be donating a day's wages to help raise funds on Sunday, when Arsenal dedicates its Premier League match against Chelsea Football Club to the charity.

The video includes a voiceover by dedicated Gooner Barbara Windsor, who is also a former patient and long-time supporter of Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas said: "I visited Great Ormond Street Hospital so I know what this means to the charity and the patients. I encourage all supporters to follow our lead and give what they can."
