Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been flocking to a Twitter post from the Old Gold’s Portuguese midfielder, Ruben Neves.
On Wednesday evening, the 23-year-old middleman posted to social media sharing the #PlayersTogether statement which revealed that a large number of Premier League players would be donating money to an NHS umbrella organisation (via Ruben Neves), which fans loved.

What do we think?
The initiative that was shared by Neves and many other Premier League footballers on Wednesday night (per BBC) is fantastic to see and is the kind of story that people need at what is an undeniably difficult time.
As can be seen in the responses, #PlayersTogether is getting the plaudits that it deserves from Wolves supporters, and that is fantastic to see.
