I was on a business flight to Frankfurt earlier this year and the Liverpool FC U19 team was on it going to play some cup match. I sat next to the team doctor (nervous flyer - which is a strange vocation to choose…) and he said a couple guys are making 20,000 Pounds/Week. The looked like just boys, it was insane.
