and captains, who have
had an overwhelmingly
positive response when
sounding out their
team-mates about the
scheme.
Manchester United
captain Harry Maguire,
below, last week asked
his team-mates to
donate a
suggested 30
per cent of
their wages
to charity
but they will
now join up
with the PFA
scheme.
Others are doing
the same and each
club’s players will
decide how much to
give and whether it is a
one-off or a regular
contribution.
They have discussed
making the fund
permanent even after
the current crisis ends.PREMIER LEAGUE By John Cross
players are days away
from launching a huge
charity foundation.
The 20 club captains
unanimously agreed to
set up a central fund
organised and run by
the Professional
Footballers’ Association
to raise money for
good causes in
this crisis.
A final deal
on the fund
was struck
on Saturday.
Players
want to give to
employees at
their financially-hit
clubs, community
groups such as those
providing food for
deprived kids or those
left in financial trouble
and NHS charities.
Liverpool captain
Jordan Henderson has
played a key role in the
talks between clubsTop-flight stars to
create charity fund
