chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Terry is also in negotiations with suppliers to cut the cost of kits for nearly 300 youngsters who play for the club.The Chelsea captain told Sportsmail: 'When the seriousness of the situation was brought to my attention through reading the Daily Mail, I immediately wanted to help.'Having made contact with Tony Carroll (Senrab club secretary) I've made a donation that I've been told should keep the club in a healthy position for the next few years.'Senrab, which is based in east London and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has produced a string of England internationals including Tottenham's Ledley King and Fulham's Bobby Zamora.Terry said: 'If some of the ex-players could also follow suit I'm sure this would help secure the long-term future of the club.'Carroll, who has been involved with the club for 20 years, was thrilled by Terry's donation.He said: 'Thanks to John, the weight of the world's been lifted of our shoulders. We can look forward to next season knowing we don't have to beg and borrow to survive any more.'I want to say thanks to the Daily Mail for highlighting the problem and helping us on our way.'------------------------------------------------Source: The Daily Mail------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
