Wed Apr 01, 2020 10:32 am

Aaron Ramsey has donated £3,000 to save a homeless charity from closing just days after donated £10,000 for NHS staff fighting the ongoing coronavirus outbreak

A wonderful gesture from one of our own :ayatollah: #CCFC

Yeah nice gesture :clap: but let's not forget the guy reportedly earns 400k a week in Juventus.
Guardiola and De Gea have donated 1m and 300k each respectively to their countries health services and probably earn less.

It should be highlighted as many of the other sports stars have NOT donated a thing.

Just because this has been highlighted a lot of charity and donations go on without anybody knowing.

I don't, it was brought to light by the OP. I simply don't think it's worth highlighting. 10k to Rambo is the equivalent of £8 to someone on minimum wage. It's hardly a big deal.

IT DOES NOT matter how much anyone is earning .The bottom line is that it is THEIR money and they DO NOT have to give ANYONE ANYTHING .So it is very nice of them to donate anything

Footballer Aaron Ramsey pays rent for homeless group

But the charity mistook him for TV chef Gordon Ramsay

Wales and Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey has given £3,000 to a homelessness charity to help them survive - only for charity bosses to mistake him for chef Gordon Ramsay.

He made the donation after seeing workers at Help the Homeless Newport and Free Newport urge a "big corporation" to donate as they feared they would not survive the coronavirus lockdown.

Ramsey's donation means the charity can pay the rent and secure it for a year.

Tariq Khan, who runs the charity, admitted that he initially mistook the footballer for the celebrity chef when he was made aware of the offer.

"I received a call from a number overseas and I couldn't quite make out the accent on the phone."The woman informed me Mr Ramsey wanted to get involved with a grassroots organisation in Wales, and I must have got my wires crossed."

The footballer's donation comes just days after he pledged £10,000 to a fundraiser for the NHS.

In fairness that's a really kind gesture as it's keeping a small, little known charity afloat. :clap:

Apologies for this misinformation.
My Mrs told me this morning that Messi was refusing to take a pay cut when in fact I’ve just heard that he’s taking a 70% cut. Good on him.

Should never have trusted my Mrs with the info; I remember in the 80s before internet etc Wales’ opponents were playing an international one evening (think it was Czechoslovakia and another) and when the guy on wales news snippet at 1030 said ‘We’ll be showing highlights of this match straight after this bulletin so look away if you don’t want to know the score’
I did, and I said to her ‘Don’t tell me the score!”
She insisted that she wouldn’t as she now knew that I didn’t like to know the score when watching highlights.
She then said “You might as well come to bed though as there’s no goals to see “ she was serious!!
I kid you not. :roll:

Hardly a big deal you say.

I am sure that the charity he has saved from going bust and the Aneurin Bevan Health board who are the two benefactors would beg to differ with your quote of its 'hardly a big deal'

If he's on the money you say he is he's given 3.5% of his weekly wage, how much of your weekly wage have you given?

What a horrible and tasteless and WRONG post.

Messi has donated 1 MILLION euros to help with the Coronavirus outbreak and that was well over a week ago.

Do your research before throwing genuine people

You expect everyone to read every single comment of a thread? You made that comment putting him under the bus, it doesn’t matter if you correct yourself in a further post, the fact you expect every person who visits this forum to read every single post is ignorant in itself. I’m not expecting to read a part 2 to your post, what do you think this is?

What a weird comment. The only thing that's come back to bite anyone is you with your Messi post. I was completely correct in my reply. In future do a bit of research before writing fiction.
