Bournemouth defender Charlie Daniels has credited the 'unconditional love' of fatherhood as the factor that made him become one the first English players to sign up to Juan Mata's Common Goal initiative.
Daniels, along with Swansea's Alfie Mawson, are the first British players to pledge one per cent of their salary to charitable causes. The global campaign, spearheaded by Manchester United's Mata and supported by German and Italian superstars Mats Hummels and Giorgio Chiellini, will target the world's poorest regions and create new opportunities for young children through sport.
'Once I read through what they do, it was a no-brainer,' Daniels said.
