Greg Halford - nice gesture

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Most of the players threw their shirts away to fans. In Halfords case it means nothing to him as just a mercenary footballer who got paid to do a job but good that he gave to somebody ina wheelchair who couldnt have grabbed it in the stands.

You would sign Halford over Tex? Glad your not the manager.

Tex I fear will not be an option where Halford probably will be

To make things worse BG I bet Stockdale dropped his before he could hand it over eh eh? What a laugh.

I said the same when he picked his child up:. I am not saying it was wrong or anything but honestly cannot see all the praise for Halford doing what every other player did and gave his shirt away. This happens every year so nothing unusual.and I cannot see the need for a thread about his actions.

I sit in the NW corner.
I saw Halford specifically walk over as soon as the game finished to the disabled area and hand his shirt over.
He did not just throw it into a general area of seating for anyone as the others did.
His actions were clearly planned and for that reason should be praised above others.

Unfair - strikes me as a decent bloke.

Ok I will accept that I have got it wrong although I did praise him for doing it in an earlier post.

Throwing your shirt in to the crowd or whatever is one thing, actually singling out a more needy individual might indicate a more caring and thoughtful side. Agree that it might not be worth a new thread, but the bloke deserves some credit.
