Priskin Donation to Flood Victims - Ipswich Town News
Town striker Tamás Priskin and his international team-mate Marton Fulop have donated one million Hungarian forints (just over £3,000) to the Hungarian Red Cross to aid victims of the floods which have recently hit their home country.
Exceptionally heavy rain has led to flooding throughout central Europe in the last couple of weeks.
The duo said in a statement: "We feel that as professional footballers, we owe a special responsibility towards our country.”
Priskin and Fulop, amongst Town’s targets this summer, are close friends, the Town striker sounding out his international team-mate prior to signing for the Blues in August, the keeper having played for Roy Keane at Sunderland.
The pair are likely to be in action for Hungary in a friendly against Germany on Saturday. Priskin, who is contracted to the Blues until 2012, has previously won 24 caps and has scored seven goals.
A friendly between England and Hungary at Wembley on Wednesday 11th August was announced on Thursday.
