    Craig Bellamy has spoken for the first time about how establishing a children's charity in Sierra Leone has helped transform his life.

    In a documentary to be shown on ITV4 at 9pm GMT tonight, the Liverpool striker reveals why he feels so committed to helping youngsters in a country still recovering from a brutal civil war.

    The Welshman said: "I've never done a documentary before, I felt totally out of my comfort zone but it was something that had to be done.

    "I'm a private man - who you see on the pitch is not who I am off it - so making this has been a learning experience for me as well."

    Established in 2007, the Craig Bellamy Foundation is a charity offering under-privileged children in Sierra Leone the chance to reach their potential through sport and education.

    Just watched that programme and have to say well done Craig. He does seem a lot calmer now so maybe that's down to this charity work - as he says it changed him as a person.

    Well I think fair play and all that but the guy aint calmer... but off the pitch he does seem more matured. Maybe joey barton ought to go do this.

    Hey RHC <ok> nice to 'see' you again. ja606 is going to the dogs - racist ones at that!

    There's a link to this on lfctv as well which is where I watched it - after voting for man of the month :emoticon-0100-smile
