Best Player: Saints in the Community?

[Saint Charlie]

With the recent Liam Ridgewell incident casting footballers in poor light, it is worth pointing out that the players often do great work for charity and in the community - but who comes out on top?

 

For me Lee Holmes was a great ambassador for the Saints Foundation - although he did have a lot of time on his hands. Also remember Trond Egil Soltvedt did a lot of good work during his time here and was a nice bloke.

 

Soltvedt with Claus Lundekvam:

Beatts did a lot of charity work in the community, although didn't it start as a Drink Driving penalty?

 

Fair do's to him though, I believe he kept up doing some of the work long after the allotted hours had passed.

Wasn't Fran Benali the hardest working saint in the community for years?

I don't know too much about what goes on as I'm in exile up here but I know from a friend who is a head teacher locally that Adam Lallana and Danny Fox gave up a whole afternoon to make one pupil (but in doing so probably won over the entire school as future Saints fans) very happy. They were touched by the story (sent by the HT) and volunteered to come, brought souvenirs and Saints memorabilia and signed autographs, balls for the school fete and won over staff and kids alike.

 

There are reasons why I can't mention the school but it's the only direct experience that I know of and I felt really good that players from my club represented it in this way.
