- Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Mat Ryan has raised A$28,000 for an Australian bushfire animal rescue charity after a novel shot-stopping fundraiser in England’s Premier League.
The Australia international said last week he would donate A$500 for every save made by a goalkeeper during the latest round of matches. A total of 56 saves were made across 10 games, with Ryan pulling off five in Brighton’s 1-0 defeat by Everton. "Thank you to all for your amazing support in regards to the situation back home," Ryan, who will send his funds to the WIRES Australian Wildlife Rescue emergency fund, posted on Twitter“Grateful to you all for sharing, supporting, raising awareness and most importantly donating to the cause.”
On Sunday, Serena Williams said she would donate her prize-money from winning the Auckland Classic while Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal will feature in an exhibition to raise funds.
