Remember the Chilean miners that have been stuck underground for over a month? Well, David Villa, who comes from a family that worked in mines for ages, sent two signed shirts to the 33 workers who have been trapped. Spain and Barcelona’s #7 is originally from the Spanish mining region of Asturias, and he signed one Barca shirt “be strong” and wrote a message on another for Franklin Lobos, a former professional footballer stuck amongst fellow workers.“I am part of the mining family and I share the concern of the relatives but everything will turn out well,” Villa said, as quoted by Spanish sports daily El Mundo Deportivo.“I wanted to let them know that I am with them, that all of us who know what it’s like in a mine are with them and that the whole world is watching them and supports them.” [found at Reuters]
