Some footballers are poor role models and profligate in their spending and do far worse things besides.
Others choose to do good with their money and high profile.
I was reading about Declan Rice's support for homeless projects a few weeks ago.
Another footballer who helps the village where he grew up is the Egyptian footballer Mo Salah, who plays for Liverpool at the time of writing.
This BBC piece describes his work to 'give back' to the place where he grew up.
Nagrig, a village about three hours north of Cairo.
It was on the streets of Nagrig where a seven-year-old Salah, external would play football with his friends, pretending to be Brazil striker Ronaldo, France's legendary playmaker Zinedine Zidane or Italian maestro Francesco Totti.
