A petition has been launched to ‘help bring Raheem home’
Someone donated £2.37: ‘one penny for every time he has made me swear at the TV over the last week’
A petition was launched today on JustGiving to bring England striker, Raheem Sterling, home from the Euros in France.
Aaron, who set up the petition, said: “Roy won’t leave him at the hotel so it’s down to us to get him out of France.”
The petition has raised £519 of its £200 target, and has had 139 donations. Some are donating as much as £10.
The description says: “Let’s face it we’re all sick of seeing this guy mince down the wing and fail to deliver a half decent ball into the box.
We’ll bring the lad home and then we can all stop cringing everytime a gust of wind knocks him over.
Don’t worry about being generous, we’re of one mind. A penny each will cover it I imagine.
Any actual donations will be given to Dougie Mac.”
Aaron said: “The page was initially set up as a laugh – I never thought it’d actually get approved – however any funds will go to Dougie Mac”.
Clayton donated £2, and wrote: “Time to clear your locker out chap. Nothing personal of course, aside from me being a success starved England fan.”
Dan donated £2.37, saying it was “1p for every time he has made me swear at the TV over the last week.”
Joey had a slightly more sinister comment accompanying his £2 donation: “If we don’t get him, the Russians will.”
Dougie Mac is a hospice that endeavours to provide: “comprehensive care for those with progressive, advanced disease and a limited life expectancy in order that they may achieve the best quality of life.”
