Wayne Rooney |
All men are born equal but some are more equal than others.
While the average salary for a Premier League footballer is a mouth-watering £44,000-a-week – equating to £2.29million a year – the biggest clubs pay a lot more than that.
And even within those big clubs, the star players who sell the shirts are in a league of their own.
