Not just a great gesture but what a great explanation for it:

“My family and I feel that, through a long career, football has been very good to us," said Naismith. "Therefore, I personally feel that I can and should accept the 50% reduction in wages.
"I hope this can contribute in some way to the long-term survival of the club at a challenging time and save jobs, especially those that are the lowest earners and hence those who will be struggling the most at this time.
"I know every one of my team-mates have unique circumstances with their finances, homes and families. I can assure everyone they are all doing what they can."

I wish he had taken up the option of playing for Wales.
