A schoolmate of my son's was hospitalized with cancer (now in remission) a couple of years ago. Beckham spent all day at Birmingham Children's Hospital, talked to every one of the kids. Easy to say well he's loaded it's not much to do, but the fact is many in his position give very little back (honorable exceptions would be many of the African players supporting huge initiatives in their home countries) and he does it very, very well. Top bloke.
I put something on another thread and although the wages is a good thing (don't all shoot me) i think there is a lot of PR stuff going on with David. Why choose today? because all the world media is about for TDD.
He has developed very well over the years and appears to be very genuine in everything he does......once he finally hangs up his boots I'm sure there will be plenty of offers of ambassadorial roles for him.....
I responded on the other thread mate! Only 5 and a half hours to go, tie for half a dozen new players yet.
Off course there is Ellers......but it's also a huge publicity coup for his chosen charity....they couldn't buy this sort of advertising....
Agree Look chaps im not a scrooge or against charity (infact i am proud of my poppy day appeal fund raising and my 6 years charity work for a hopsital). I was just saying David choose today for max publicity. And well done on his wages and his work with kids. Back to DDT
Ellers....maybe we are all becoming somewhat more cynical with age.....just think all these youngsters on here have got this to look forward too....
Agree mate (exactly what Mrs Ellers says), I just always ask the question Why? SSN LATEST West Brom players believe Odeinwonga is to leave?
Baird going to WBA, means Olsson could be coming to us. Also DJ is off to Blackburn which means we might have more chance of getting Dann.
