Ben Mee praises 'true leader' Jordan Henderson for instigating #playerstogether initiative

Burnley captain Ben Mee has praised Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson for instigating the #playerstogether initiative.

A large number of players from Premier League clubs have agreed to donate money to the charitable fund which will 'distribute money to where it is needed most' in the fight against coronavirus.

It followed Health Secretary Matt Hancock calling on big-earning footballers to do their bit and take a pay cut.

Ben Mee insisted the players always wanted to do their part in fight against coronavirus

This drew anger from players and the PFA who hit back at Hancock for seemingly singling out the sport for criticism.
