The giant black american who plays centre half for Newcastle occasionally came down to my work last week with 40 pieces of Nike clothes, tracky tops, bottoms, t-shirts etc, all brand new and still wrapped - to donate to the homeless kids there.
He didnt want any publicity and was very shy, polite and humble. Now I know he had a right to be considering he's probably on ten-twenty grand a week or something but still....
His agent meanwhile was about fifty, dressed in a tiny skirt and looked petrified, like they were all smoking crack in the next room and were gonna run out and eat her alive.

fair play to him, I used to work with JJ Okacha (sp) Sister in Law and he is the same kind of bloke by all accounts, gives away a major amount to charadie

JJ Okocha is one of my all time fave players. A truly gifted bloke. Good to hear he does his bit for charidee too.

Nice one by the giant black American feller. It'd be all the stuff his sponsors shower on him. When I lived in Worksop, Lee Westwood was just a mile up the road and he gets a van full a week off Ping, Taylor Made, etc etc etc and always goes round the schools and clubs with it when he's not on tour. It's great to see that he's still grounded despite his millions.
