Joe Cole has donated £25,000 to the ‘unbelievable’ NHS staff working around the clock to fight coronavirus and urged the nation to give what they can to help out.
Former England, Chelsea and West Ham star Cole has put his hand in his pocket to support the healthcare workers who are under increasing strain on the frontline trying to treat sufferers of the illness.
Cole has become the latest name from the football industry to offer help to overworked NHS staff following the coronavirus outbreak.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and former England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville have both made hotels in London and Manchester available for local NHS staff.
