Curtains Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Always good to see at Xmas time players going to see patients and cheer um up Just seen Barks interview on East Mids Today. Well done lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_chop Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I would of thought they pulled a face about going, let's face it I very much doubt they would of been paid for it. It would of been more appropriate to send our morbidly obese physio in as Santa clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_chop Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Are you mental? Not at all. Money talks !! you don't see Roger Mellie out the Viz doing charity work for nothing. Nothing worse than seeing overpaid footballers mixing with common folk pretending to want to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to want to do it for the community but believe me these celebs will be getting something out of it. I hear Jimmy Saville was quite demanding when farting about at Stoke Manderville hospital every Xmas. where do you think all his cigars came from ?

The point is they do get something out of it ! a juicy ten grand a week the only downside is showing your face round a ward of sick people once a year. If I was offered ten grand a week for playing football I'd gladly be down the Salvation Army serving pot noodles to all the tramps come the day before Xmas eve. I'm not knocking him mind, just saying he'd not be there out the goodness of his heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_chop Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Didn't mean to put a downer on the subject and not being intentionally critical. Money lowers moral standards that's all. Merry Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Maybe some, but I've still got some faith that there's some decency amongst footballers. I'm sure some of them are very grateful they've been honoured by being paid shedloads for kicking a ball around. I get the feeling that we've got some players with an understanding of the privilege they have doing what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Considering that a ex Derby player (all be it on loan) Brad Jones has just lost his daughter to leukaemia, I would think there would be plenty of players that would of been more than happy to go to the hospital the meet the kids.

smiffy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Only caught a quick glimps, but I thought Bywater was amongst them, am I correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Only caught a quick glimps, but I thought Bywater was amongst them, am I correct. Probably he has joined up with the squad again so wouldnt be surprised, also I think that in players contracts that states they have to do work in the community, charity work, hospital visits, coaching and signing sessions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
