Thumbs up Bellamy plans academy in Africa
Bellamy plans academy in Africa

West Ham and Wales striker Craig Bellamy plans to build a football academy in Sierra Leone to try to help develop the country's young talent.

Bellamy visited the war-torn country last year and was so impressed by the local playing talent that he vowed to help them improve facilities.

He has now set up the Craig Bellamy Foundation, which will start to build an academy in the capital Freetown.

"Because of the war, children haven't had any opportunity," he said.

"They haven't been thrown a football, they've been thrown a gun.

"Now we can give them a chance that their fathers or grandfathers never had. That's the buzz for me.

"I'm not looking to find and sell players. I'm not an agent. I want to make it clear that if any player does make it, any fee goes straight back into the academy."

Bellamy has reportedly invested nearly £650,000 of his own money into the foundation and the academy is set to include 14 new leagues and 68 new boys' teams and employ 141 managers and coaches.

While improving the country's football is Bellamy's primary motivation, he also hopes the foundation will lead to more youngsters receiving health awareness education.

Ex-Red who i was sad to see leave. Nice gesture this, nice to see someone put something back in and using their wealth to good effect. Would love to see our club setting things like this up. Well in Bellers lad

Re: Bellamy plans academy in Africa
read about this in the Times this morning. The natural reaction is to be cynical, but I'm not sure he isn't being altruistic here. If he is, fair play to the mysoginist knuckle dragging big-mouthed wanker.

That is the perfect response.

Re: Bellamy plans academy in Africa
Bit harsh on him there. He never bad mouthed us, never bad mouthed Rafa even when he was sold after a year. Always gave his all for the shirt, and IMO he's better than atleast 2 of our current forwards.

Good on him, i've got enough respect for him doing that. It's good to see a player doing that and hopefully other players will follow the example.

I'd rather see him here than Voronin, that's for sure. No matter how crazy he is, he's a decent player.

He tried to kill Riise with a golf club. If he was still here this year seeing some of Riise's performances he'd be a god. I love the big mouthed sheep shagging cunt.
