1/2 The stereotype that footballers don’t care about the wider world is untrue. Like in all walks of life, some care deeply, some some don’t. However, you can only speak as you find & in my experience, footballers know how lucky they are, and many do a great deal for those

less fortunate.

I know, also that wealth in football draws criticism. However in 16/17 the PL contributed 3.3bn in tax...enough to fund 25% of the total police budget in England & Wales. Football is far from perfect...but contributes to this country enormously...
