Ross County defender Liam Fontaine has paid his own tribute to carers and NHS staff by writing a song which he hopes can raise money in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
The 34-year-old posted a video on his Facebook site on Friday morning performing his song from his home after being inspired by Clap For Carers where people from their doors and windows have applauded and cheered workers in the health sector in the fight against COVID-19.
Writing on his Facebook site, he wrote: "Good Morning world , not posted in a while, but have been sitting and thinking of a small way I can help towards the fight we are all facing.
"So after last nights Clap for Carers I got out my phone and guitar and decided to write this song for all of the carers and NHS staff that are constantly working against this fight we are all in.
"I find all the videos I see of nurses and doctors etc incredible, what they fight and face each day, and continue to keep putting themselves in harms way to help protect and to try get everyone who has been affected by this coronavirus better.
"I have a close personal friend who is currently in ICU fighting their own battle and without the NHS and carers they wouldn’t have a chance. I imagine there are loads of us that have or have had someone directly affected by this and see how hard the nhs.uk work to try and help them recover."
"So this song is just a tribute to those carers, nurses and doctors."
