Man City prolific leader Vincent Kompany is set to celebrate his 10 glorious years at the club with a special testimonial game at the Etihad next August. 32-year-old Belgian in intend to donate all the money in the game to Homelessness Fund that helps homeless people of Manchester. Speaking to BBC Sport, Citizens’ captain said:
I’ve received much from Manchester. Over the past decade I’ve been lucky to have witnessed and played a part in Manchester City’s rise as a club and a brand. This has also run parallel alongside the rise of a whole region.
However, with this spectacular rise, comes a very visible downside: more and more people are left out of and have no access to the benefits of the rapid development, often leaving them no choice but to end up on the streets.
What inspired me so much about this region, about this city, is the positivity of the people that live in it.
As this city is so powerful compared to so many other cities I have visited in the past, I think we have a responsibility to take everyone along with us on that journey.
Good point by Vincent. City must be very proud to have such a great foal-model player for a decade and hopefully will keep him for a while.
