Real Sociedad Employ Homeless Man Who Had Been Sleeping Outside Stadium

Real Sociedad Employ Homeless Man Who Had Been Sleeping Outside Stadium

A wonderful gesture from the La Liga club.

In what is a wonderful gesture, Real Sociedad have employed a homeless man who had been sleeping rough outside the ground with his dog for eight months.

35-year old 'Ruben' had been sleeping outside gate 20 at the Anoeta Stadium and was regularly given clothes and food by locals in what was undoubtedly a tough time in his life.

However now, the Royals have hired him for a two-month period where he will work as maintenance on the Stadium that he lives on the doorstep of.

Here's hoping that things run smoothly for him and he is able to move off the streets and into a room.

An incredibly nice story and a great gesture from club officials.
