Premier League captains have confirmed they have set up their “Players Together” charity fund. They made a collective announcement on social media with Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson quickly followed by a host of other big names putting their name to the fund.
It has been set up and organised by the Professional Footballers’ Association, supported by the Premier League and the 20 captains brokered the final arrangements on their Whats App group over the past few days.
The PFA have already paid in £1.5m with a personal donation from Gordon Taylor while the players are making personal donations and also donations from their monthly salaries.
