West Brom's Rondon pays surgery bill for 92-year-old woman

West Brom star Salomon Rondon has come to the aid of a 92-year-old woman who could not afford a life-changing operation.


Ana Prato has dubbed the Venezuelan footballer 'my guardian angel' after taking her first steps in five years.

The Baggies have also praised their £12 million record signing who offered to help the wheelchair-bound pensioner when he was contacted by a charity.

The player agreed to fund her medical fees, and spoke to her on Skype to break the good news.

The forward, who joined Albion 10 months ago from Russian club Zenit, was brought up in the same city – the Venezuelan capital Caracas – as Ana.
