So they're not such a bad bunch of blokes after all

We read many stories about the antics of our professional footballers and a lot of the time some footballers come across as pretty tiresome characters.

This story however, puts 'em in a totally differant light:

"England's players have agreed to donate all their match fees leading up to the 2010 World Cup to charity.
The gesture is expected to raise at least £1million for charitable causes, which should rise as individual players get involved in additional charity work.
The team have founded the Team England Footballers Charity trust, and England captain John Terry said: "Each player in the England squad works in some way with local or national charities but as a team we decided to use our role as England footballers to not only contribute money and our time but to also help raise awareness of particular issues. Every player to a man is looking forward to supporting our charity."

Don't know about you guys, but reading that, I felt pretty chuffed for the lads.....
