Denmark skipper who left Anfield last month has put his hand in his pocket to pay the remaining money needed for the squad to make the trip to Chile

Back home: Agger has paid for the homeless side to head to Santiago
Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has put his hand in his pocket to pay for Denmark's homeless football team to fly to next month's World Cup in Chile.

Ex-Red Agger, who left Liverpool last month to return to Denmark with Brondby, heard that the Danish side were struggling to foot the bill for the trip to Santiago.

So in he stepped, paying the remaining £2,100 that the team needed to raise to head to South America, ensuring that the eight-man team could take part in the competition.

Charity worker, Frits Ahlstrøm, said to Danish television channel TV2: "I talked to [Agger] and told him that we still had 20,000 krone to go, and he replied without hesitation: 'I’ll give it you'."

I know its peanuts to him, but still, what a legend. The game and the world needs more Daniel Aggers.

Class human being.

am sorry but why the hell are they having a world cup for homeless people?

what next, world cup for people with diabetes?

Think you's lot are going a bit ott tbqh.

£2100 equates to about half an hours werk to him, so it would be a bit like lobbing a fiver at a tramp for a brew for the majority of us sheeples.

I'll start a thread waving my willy around next time I do that.

Precisely.

Homeless = destitute, so please explain to this obvious numpty WHY TF they are flying out all the way to Chile in the first place?
Use the local Tesco car park with a couple of rags for goalposts like any other normal thinking sheeple would!
Beggars belief this stuff, it really does.


footnote....must remind meself to become homeless if this is the sort of jaunt they get to go on.

I see nothing wrong with giving them the chance to see a new place. Just because they are homeless does not mean they should elbe forgotten or that they are worthless. If we can do simple things to improve other peoples lives, our world will improve.

As you said, for Dagger its peanuts, so why not. As for the event itself, i think its great, gets them off the streets for a short while, gives them a chance to socialize in a healthy environment and gives them a warm bed to sleep in for a while. Its definitely better than nothing v and will be a memory they cherish.

Whats wrong with that?

Absolutely nothing, apart from the fact that the vast majority of us WITH a home and employment would NEVER get the chance or even be able to afford to compete in such an event.
All seems a bit unbalanced and out of proportion to me tbh.

My only memory to cherish today will be just how much of my grafting will be going towards the topping up of the G&T cabinet for the privileged few down in Westminster.

Good on him although $2,100 is small change to any footballer. Also didnt Ibrahomovic pay the entire expense to the swedish team $30,000 pounds but even that is small change considering he earns like $24m a year?

I suppose nice gesture although I wonder how we all know about it? It was only 2k small change to him. No publicity for agger would have been better. But he gave it and he did not need to do. I have no issues with homeless people being allowed to see the world and have an experience.
