Awareness Quote by Eidur Gudjohnsen
“I remember when I played for Barcelona. They had never had a shirt sponsor in their entire history. Barca's first sponsor was UNICEF - and that link-up generated huge awareness for a worthy cause. When a club that is so dominant in the game, like Barcelona, does something like that it can have a huge impact on the world that goes beyond football.”
