pete 318 Posted April 14, 2020 The 99 year old captain a veteran of WW2 raises £1m by walking 100 times around his large garden in his walking frame. Wonder if PL millionaires will raise this much without breaking sweat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,311 Posted April 14, 2020 Make that £2m. How lovely to have such a ‘ feel good ‘ coming together for our beloved NHS. If Captain Tom thought he was having a very quiet lockdown birthday I think he’s in for a surprise. They’ll need a lorry or two just to deliver the cards 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted April 15, 2020 Great to see and the generosity of normal people, yet those multi millionaire footballers all arguing about where 30% of their wage should go! They should all be Furloughed and given the maximum of £2,500 per month under the current situation and the football clubs could then donate 50% of the wages saved to the NHS, the other money saved on wages would help the club’s financially....... put the high paid bellends in the same boat as the rest of the general public under these challenging times. Dose of reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted April 16, 2020 Extraordinary and well done the British public for supporting him. His 100th birthday is on the 30th and I hope a knighthood is awarded that day.

BobLoz3 486 Posted April 17, 2020 Total legend. It's a lovely story in these bizarre times. Mind you... All this donating to the NHS could be seen as a bit odd considering they're not a charity and the government should really be held accountable for their funding.

Totally agree, but these are exceptional times and every penny is helpful. Lets hope HMRC allow them this money, untaxed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
