Steven Naismith has taken the lead in letting the rest of the professional footballing world know that instead of going around saying ‘bah humbug” they can do something that makes a difference this christmas.
He has paid for Christmas dinner for hundreds of homeless people.
He sponsored the annual meal in Glasgow organised by the charity, Loaves and Fishes, which helps those sleeping rough in the city.
Naismith described the event as “humbling and inspiring”,
“When I was at Rangers and had a few bad injuries and wasn’t playing I thought it was a good opportunity to start helping, so I spoke to family and friends about where I wanted to make a difference if I could and Loaves and Fishes got brought up a couple of times.It’s a small gesture I make and in terms of the difference it makes, it’s massive. I enjoy it, you meet a lot of great characters in there who tell you what they think about football and how good or bad a footballer they think you are, things like that, so it’s great to go in and spend the afternoon with them.”
