The Super men II - Neville &Giggs 'saves hundreds of lives' by helping the homeless

English Premier League football Stars are often criticized for their ostentatious lifestyles, but Gary Neville, the former Manchester United and England footballer, has bucked the trend by opening up one of the city's most famous landmarks -- which he owns with former teammate Ryan Giggs -- to the homeless.
The pair purchased the $2.3 million former Manchester Stock Exchange in 2013, but renovation work at the grade II-listed building is not set to start until February.
Neville, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career, winning the Champions League twice, eight Premier League trophies, three FA Cups and two League Cups, plans to turn it into a luxury boutique hotel with a rooftop terrace and private members area.
But those plans are on hold after he gave the go-ahead for a group of homeless people to move in.
    "I burst into tears when Gary told me we could stay at the hotel until February," Wes Hall, a human rights and housing activist who is leading the campaign, told CNN.
    "I don't think Gary realizes what he has done -- he is going to save hundreds of lives this winter.
    "He's such a down to earth guy. He just wants to help people and this is absolutely wonderful. I know he's been helping the homeless community in Manchester for the past 10 years but this will allow us to really enable the community to make this into a hub."

    Arsenal Boss Eyes Summer Clear-outs

    The midfield trios' contracts are set to expire at the end of the season and it is understood the Gunners are planning for life without them, claim the  London Evening Standard . All three midfielders have been bit-part players this season with Arsene Wenger believed to be having concerns over their fitness and consistency to perform at a high level.  Rosicky, who turnt 35 last month, is expected to be sidelined until after Christmas following knee surgery and has failed to play a single minute of first-team football.  The Czech was set to leave the Gunners last summer but Arsenal invoked a clause in his previous contract to keep him at the Emirates for a further 12 months.  By leaving Arsenal, this will allow Rosicky to finish his career with his first club Sparta Prague - which he is open to.  The same can be said for Flamini as there are those who believe his best days are behind him too, with the poor performance in the Capital One Cup exit...

    Euros Disappointments a lesson for Martial, says Deschamps

      France coach Didier Deschamps believes Anthony Martial is a revitalised player after looking "exhausted" at Euro 2016. Following a fine first season in the Premier League with Manchester United, in which he scored 11 goals in 31 appearances, Martial failed to have much of an impact on France's run to the final on home soil. The 20-year-old played just 69 minutes across three matches, but opened the scoring in France's 3-1 friendly victory over Italy in Bari on Thursday for his first senior international goal. And Deschamps, attempting to lead France's recovery after their final defeat to Portugal in July, reckons a refreshed Martial will learn lessons from his Euros disappointment. "He was expecting more from the Euros and I was too," Deschamps said. "But, things were difficult. He has to learn from this to progress.  "He was the first to say he was not satisfied. Deschamps continued: "He arrived there exhausted because he had a very l...
