Marcus Rashford during lockdown has:

Started a charity that has raised £20 million and helped feed 2.8 million children
Launched a Christmas Box campaign with Selfridges to help Manchester's homeless
Learned sign language to judge a poetry competition in a deaf school
And has now come out in support of an autistic lad who has been the subject of bullying

He's 22. A credit to his profession, his family but most of all to himself.

    Don’t suppose he fancies a cheap end of season loan deal?

    He's always comes across as a humble modest guy. Fair play to him for all he has achieved and will continue to achieve inside and outside of football

    Saw him in Five Guys at Trafford Park a couple of years ago after the end of the season. Must have been thirty kids (and their dads 😏) come up and ask him for his autograph - smiled and had a photo with all of them, all while being on a date (if you can call Five Guys a date) with his missus. Quite a few people round here know him or know of him - he's apparently a genuinely sound bloke

    Disgusting.

    So not only is he young, rich and talented but he's a nice guy.

    Doesn't he realise he's meant to set a bad example so the tabloids can point what a bad example he is setting, how these players have it too easy, get paid too much, bring back national service, wibble

    A beacon of light in recent times - a model professional. Using his fame and wealth to do positive and he’s 22, hope he has a long and decent career

    Nice one Marcus, footballers get a bad rep, nice to hear of people giving back to the community, rather than just out for themselves.

    Surprised he can afford all those charity payments after eating there. ;)

    Does sound like a thoroughly decent human though

    God he makes me feel lazy, the only productive thing i have done during lockdown is buy a car this week but that was even delivered to me! 

    Massive respect to the young man! Incredible person

    Wonder if Matt Hancock will use his next spot on Lies at Five to congratulate and thank him?

    It all seems to good to be true, he comes across so Nice in the public eye but I bet he has a dark secrets somewhere! I reckon he kidnapped a homeless person and has him chained up in his basement dressed in a gimp mask

    Dunno if Rashford is listed then he'll get the Man Utd support

    We saw what happened when Giggs got nominated against Jenson Button

    Becoming the undisputed best boxer on the planet is some achievement Paulie. 

    Particularly in light of the mental health issues he overcame to get there.

    Well deserved imo

    Fluked SPOTY by beating the biggest hitting and undefeated heavy weight champion, sure.

    All whilst coming back from problems with booze, drug and depression.

    Pretty much what SPOTY should be about.

    Ok maybe fluked wasn't the right word

    But had COVID19 not hit and we had the Euros and the Olympics there is no way he would win.

    Also fighting the same fighter later in the year who you beat earlier in the year doesnt seem like a great champion to me, he just beat Wilder and knows he will beat him again.

    Do another fight in October like Joshua and do the Wilder 3rd fight another time

    The only thing that might stop Fury winning SPOTY is his association with alleged crime lord Daniel Kinahan:

    https://www.independent.ie/videos/tyson-fury-thanks-daniel-kinahan-for-organising-anthony-joshua-fight-39275870.html

    Sky and BT have already distanced themselves from negotiations for TV coverage of the fight with AJ and the BBC themselves have said this on their website about him:

    Daniel Kinahan first came to widespread public attention in Ireland in February 2016 when gunmen attacked the weigh-in at a boxing bout that resulted in the murder of a man described as a leader of the Kinahan crime cartel in Ireland.

    The immediate aftermath of the shooting as spectators fled in fear was caught on camera and the footage went around the world.

    It is believed he was the intended target.

    The murder was part of a feud that has claimed at least 18 lives.

    Politicians, police officers and the public in Ireland are keen that the outside world get to know what they call the real Daniel Kinahan.

    Man Utd & players in general have come out of the lockdown quite well - never tried to furlough staff like Liverpool, Spurs etc, haven't had any breaking lockdown stories like Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Spurs & Mourinho, Rashford for all the above, and wasn't it Harry Maguire who got a load of players together to donate a part of their wages?

    I doubt they are all saints but they've managed to come across well.
