So clearly not all footballers meet the stereotype image. Not even premier footballers when one looks at the excellent way Keiron Dyer conducted himself on the celebrity programme.
I believe he donated his fee to a stillbirth charity.
Ulises del la Cruz the ex Aston Villa player used to donate 10 per cent of his wages throughout his football career to a charity he set up. The charity was for the village he was born in, in one of the poorest parts of Ecuador. The charity funded a water supply and a local school amongst many other projects. In the close season he always went back to visit the village rather that jetting off to more exotic locations favoured by other Premier League Players.
Kevin Davies is another who has supported local community projects at every club he has been at....due to his poor background he never forgot that his football manager had to buy him his boots because his own parents could not afford them.
not all players have forgotten their roots.
Very decent of him, he would probably be on the same kind of money as a lot of us on here, and I've never done anything like that!
A certain Welsh ex City player who is hated throughout the land also donates huge amounts of money to childrens charities.
Just seen the article on the CT, TM was there along with RCC, Madders, Lameiras, JOB and a few more. Nice to see them giving those unfortunate, poorly kids a load of freebies and photo opportunities.
Not to sound dramatic, but I just thank whatever God is up there that my two girls are healthy and happy. Just seeing those poor kids hooked up to machines and drips and bed-ridden is awful, to say the least.
Well done Aaron Martin. Especially when you consider that he's not on mega wages by football standards AND his career could end with an injury.
