Anyway nothing to stop him getting a warehouse job when the football career ends Exactly this, most footballers in the top two leagues earn more in two weeks than the average fan does in a year. If I could get one year of Championship wages and lived the way I do now, I'd never have to work another day in my life. There comes a point where it's either fuelling a needlessly extravagant lifestyle, or becomes pure greed over professional integrity. Or both.. 8 1

Doesn't mean they have to though. Ngolo Kante commuted to Belvoir Drive in a Mini Cooper despite being the best midfielder in the world and on £40k a week at the time. Then again, he ended up in Saudi too so that's probably not the best example.

He was ready to ease into a well paid pre-retirement role after his injury issues. 2

He only upgraded it in 2023 when he got a merc which was 70k, even then that’s ‘cheap’ compared to what footballers normally drive
