Super_Ally 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Excellent gesture from Naismith. Decent bloke as well as an exceptional player. The charity receives no government funding. Take all the fucking NBM money off them and giving it to this lot? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe we could ask these homeless people if they want to play in team GB? What a way to showcase Britain in it's true light. Alternativey, they could tell those feckers that the olympic opening party can take a cut, not an increase and help people like this in our their own country. Now that would be a surprising way to tell the world what a good place this country is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A future Rangers and Scotland captain showing the class it takes to be both. Well done Naisy a great gesture if the rest of the first team squad all chip in it would be a nice wee sum for the charity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Very decent bloke. Very good player. Articulates himself well and generally is a very good role model. Dont know about Scotland but with the manner in which he plays on the pitch, the enthusiasm and graft he puts in then he most certainly is a future Rangers captain. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The more I read about this the more proud I am that Naismith is at our club. Hopefully this gets the press coverage it deserves - not because it is is a positive 'Rangers" story but because it could highlight the plight of this non-government funded charity in their hour of need. And because it is the season of giving and to be charitable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Most great footballers do what Naisy does, the guy is a credit to Rangers Football Club, I for one am proud to say he plays for the team I support, what an example he sets in these troubled times. Lets all wish him a quick recovery and a speedy return to the side, and that he fulfils all his dreams as a Ger. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 A wee follow-up from the Scotsman. STEVEN Naismith has revealed that one of the first people to be in touch with him following his cruciate injury was a soldier serving in Afghanistan with the British Army. Speaking yesterday in Glasgow at a lunch for the homeless which he paid for, Naismith said he had been amazed that a man who was risking his life every day should be more concerned for his own welfare. “I had a letter from a Scottish soldier in Afghanistan who was a Rangers fan,” he said. “He had heard from his dad that I was injured and wrote to say he was gutted for me. “I couldn’t believe he was gutted for me, because I’m going to live and I’m going to come back from this. People like him are the real heroes, because they are fighting for their lives everyday. “The letter definitely boosted my morale and inspired me. I wanted to reply, so I sent him a jersey and some jerseys for the other boys. I’m hoping he sends a letter back so I know that he got it and is okay.” This is the first time that Naismith has sponsored the lunch, organised by the Loaves & Fishes charity and held at Renfield St Stephen’s Church in the city centre. “It was something a few friends had mentioned to me a while ago,” he said. “It’s a good charity and I wanted to help, especially in this time when I am injured. “It’s great to be here and see it. I look forward to going in and speaking to people and hearing the stories of their lives. They will be a bit different from the story of my own life so far. “The publicity can only help the cause. I hope to remain involved with this charity and maybe a couple more over the next five or six months. “I’m delighted to give a little support to such a deserving cause. “My injury has made me realise how fickle life can be and how fortunate I am to have had the chance in life that I’ve had. Perhaps it’s more important to be remembered for being a good person rather than just a good footballer. “I am going to give my best to achieve both. Only time will tell if I’m successful in either.” Loaves & Fishes chairman Denis Curran thanked Naismith for his involvement. “I am not a football person at all, although I do recognise a good man offering a hand of help,” he said. “The people who have come to us today will talk about this for months 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
