Yeah.
To be honest there shouldn't be a Premiership footballer who didn't contribute.

They will have targetted individuals if they couldn't get groups by the looks of the trailer on E4, i doubt if you had managed to get a full squad sitting down some of them would have the brass neck not to contribute when their captain and the rest of the team is.

In the trailer the women is using Jamie Redknapp to speak to Carragher so they obv never got Liverpool that way. She can be seen making a presentation to West Hams entire squad though which kinda ties into the fact they all donated!

hmmm...I cant remember what it was on now or which capt it was they were speaking to. Sure it was WHU though but maybe thats just how they got them all together.
Either way, the clubs should of taken it on themselves to get them sat down and taking part.

The fact only 1 of our players took part annoys me actually, we're a charitable club founded on charitable principles 
The fact Lennon was the only 1 to says a lot about him as a Celtic person tbh.

I'd give up a days pay for Nurses tbh. Having worked so closely with them and seeing all the shit they take from twats without any sort of protection I think they deserve it.

how many of us give to charity?

I've heard a lot of people moaning about this and originally I was before I thought about it.
I bet a lot of players give money to their *charity* (which Nurses aren't) of their choice throughout the year.
They'll be approached all the time about giving money to worth while causes, charitys etc etc so in hindsight, 220 players (iirc) out of about 550 is pretty good going IMHO.
