Edgar Davids has won plenty of plaudits for his on-pitch exploits over the years - but he has now warmed the hearts of his Instagram followers for his actions away from football.

The Dutchman posted a picture of himself sharing his lunch with a homeless person, stating 'we have more in common than meets the eye'.

Davids enjoyed a stellar career at the top level, playing for Ajax, Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Inter and Tottenham as well as 74 appearances for his country.

He represented Crystal Palace and Barnet later in his career, before a controversial spell as manager of the Bees.

Davids captioned the picture: "Nothing wrong with sharing your lunch with a stranger who needs it more than you.

"We have more in common than meets the eye (Love for Torino) next time when you can spare a moment ... #SameJourneyDifferentRoute."
