We’re more used to writing about Piers Morgan trying to wind footballers and pundits up, but this makes a nice change
If we’re being honest, he did start out trying to wind Gary Neville up, but with him being a bit of a character on Twitter it’s easy enough to forget that he can be a decent lad too.
He and Gary Neville were discussing today’s big game in the Premier League when Piers proposed a big bet for charity, with the proceeds going to Great Ormond Street children’s hospital.
Fancy a £5k bet – all proceeds to @GreatOrmondSt ? > RT @GNev2 @piersmorgan We are gonna win 2-1

Neville was on board but wanted to get another charity involved in the action too, what with the week that’s in it, and went for the Royal British Legion.
@piersmorgan 2.5k to @GreatOrmondSt and 2.5k to @PoppyLegion ! I don't ever bet but for a good cause I will!

A great gesture from the two lads, but they had more to give when Piers added that even if it was a draw there would still be money going to both charities.
If it's a draw @GNev2 – we both donate £1250 to each charity. @GreatOrmondSt @PoppyLegion .

It turns out Gary Neville is so sound he can even make Piers Morgan do nice things, who’d have guessed it?
