Phillip Hughes' sad death has encouraged a global demonstration of sympathy from all corners of the world. In the opulent world of football, especially in England, Burnley footballer Danny Ings, the hero of a young boy called Joe Skinner, who is disabled, gave the young lad his football boots and gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead which promoted a smile of complete joy from the youngster and inspired Danny to launch a self funded charitable foundation to help raise money for schools working with children needing special-education. He has also overseen the foundation of the first adult disability football team at his club and recently gave a large wedge of cash to a cancer charity collector in his local superstore.
Guy Butters, a former Brighton footballer, slept on the streets to highlight the needs of homeless people and the work done by shelter groups and QPR players clubbed together recently to donate £30,000 to the Ebola Crisis. All clubs have a policy to support those less fortunate than their staff and run community events too. It is not all bad in the world of football, you know. Does anyone know how much David Beckham or Wayne has given both financially and socially over his career?
