Professional footballers in the UK are grossly overpaid....many actually earn more money in a single week than a sizeable number of people earn in months of hard slog....they attain super star status with their gold-digging WAGS trailing along beside them.
The vast majority of them come from the lower orders of British society.....the famous GBU...Great British Underclass recruited mainly from the sink estates of this country.....the types seen on Jeremy Kyle's vile dross of a TV program each weekday here in the UK. Very few of them have any real academic ability.and some probably encounter problems signing their contracts with their respective cluibs after having the contents of the documents read out to them and explained in simple English.
I reckon it's pretty certain that many of these blokes would end up as prison fodder were it not for their skill in kicking a bag of air around a muddy football pitch and their ability to dribble and dodge around opposing players and this enabling them to smash the ball into the opposite net and then either stand and wait for all their team-mates to rush up to them and smother them in kisses and embraces which, should such a scenario take place anywhere else but on a football pitch, would either lay them open to verbal and physical abuse from other members of their social background witnessing such man to man passion, or land them in trouble with the local Constabulary on a charge of a breach of the peace and/or affronting public decency, or else we could see them run towards the pitch boundary, fall to their knees in ecclesiastical manner, arms outstretched to the heavens revelling in the wild cheering
of their supporters and genuinely believing that they are the New Messiah.
Rugby players are a different breed altogether....in so many ways, and many of them hold university degrees and have no need to have their contracts read out to them and interpreted to primary school level.
