| The ABC club    QUOTE Carla is nodding in agreement. The sultry Spanish brunette is as bright as she is beautiful and knows the impact football can have on those less fortunate.
The 24-year-old psychology graduate, now working in marketing, says: "I spoke to the other two girls and said, 'We should do something'.
"My initial idea was to auction off or sell our clothes for charity. Then Bouchra had the idea to make it bigger. I think we all feel happiest when we are involved in something like this."

Carla and Cesc Fabregas, 23, are childhood sweethearts who met in Barcelona when she was 17 and he was 16. Now he is regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation. But like his team-mates Van Persie and Vermaelen he is not interested in being in the limelight.
Carla says: "We don't have to worry about money, which is very fortunate, but otherwise we have a normal life.
"We go for walks together, to the supermarket, to restaurants and the theatre. We have shunned most publicity.
"Cesc deserves to be known for his sport but I haven't done anything in my life to deserve fame, so why should I try to seek it?
"This charity work is different because it's about helping children. It's an amazing feeling to be able to do that and if people like us don't give during the current financial climate, then who will?
"When you're in our position, it is only right that we try to give so much back." spurce: thesun.co.uk |
