He's a top bloke:

We all remember the story of Arsenal and Germany star Mesut Ozil funding life-saving surgery for 23 sick children in Brazil.

He even received the Laureus award for his charity work.
A year on, the 26-year-old is continuing his work in the South American country and has paid for more children to have operations.
The Arsenal playmaker has paid for 11 children to have surgery at a hospital in Coroata, in the north-eastern region of Maranhao, between 24 October and 7 November, according to the German FA (DFB).
The Arsenal record signing said that he would continue to help children in the country through the Mesut Ozil Foundation in cooperation with aid programme BigShoe.

“Even one year after we won the World Cup, I want to continue to leave a positive mark in Brazil by financing eleven more children’s operations,” said Ozil on the DFB website.
“For me it’s very important that I carry on providing help for the children of Brazil.”

If true,good for him. Not enough rich people use their money for good of others.

Fair play to the guy even though I think he's a bit overrated as a footballer.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Bloody Moslams, taking our hard earned footy money and spending it on ill children.

People might say he can do more but he's doing a damn sight more than most top end footballers, good on him.

Bet no rag reporting on it will mention his religion as that's only important when it's a bad news story.
