Coronavirus: BBC Star Presenter Gary Lineker Donates Two Months’ Salary To Red Cross
presenter and former soccer star revealed the gesture during an interview on BBC Radio 4 and then on Twitter, saying, “Decided to donate a couple of months’ salary towho are doing vital work for those most vulnerable during the Coronavirus crisis. Feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do this. If you’d like to join in, it’d be greatly appreciated.”
Lineker, who has been the broadcaster’s highest-earner two years in a row, was speaking on radio this afternoon about a brewing controversy over UK soccer clubs’ handling of the coronavirus crisis in relation to staff and player pay.

It’s not criminal. Fact is players are not training together so meetings would take rime to organise. I’m positive most of them will want to do something to help but don’t know how, or worry about treading a lonely path. Let’s give them a chance to act before we all weigh in.
