‘Draining, humbling, inspiring’: Steven Caulker’s life-changing Sierra Leone trip

Not the man I thought he was. Good for him.

Brilliant article. It's funny how one article can completely change your view of a player but I have a new found respect for him

Love a player who is decent both on and off the field.

I wouldn't say Caulker is decent off the field.

That said, maybe be has started to grow up as, hats off, what he has done in Sierra Leone is fantastic and that article was a great read.

Hard to imagine how you could live on $1 per day and I suspect seeing it first hand and continuing that link will change Steven Caulker's life for good ...and for the better - as I'm sure it would for any of us. We all live charmed lives having been lucky enough to be born in Europe rather than Africa.

Rob Green did something similar in 2008 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...fe-865856.html

Fair play

I would love for the lad to grow up and start acting like an adult. Maybe after this trip, he may have.
He could be be our main centre back this season.
