As a Spurs supporter, can someone please explain to me who that bloke is at number 19????

[GTO-3R]

That can't be right as Rio earns 120k a week which equals £6,480,000

[mouk786]

they'll probably have to break Berbatov into the top 15 to keep him.

[AlSharpton]

I dont understand how Lampard can be the 3rd highest paid footballer. He's rubbish quite frankly.

That Top 20 list reads like a staggering array of talent, with one clear anomaly! Like, WTF!

[lingus75]

Sol Campbell ?!

[The jiffle king]

I think these are basic wages, not including bonuses which would take Rio to his 120k.

T-J-K

£128million has been reguarly stated with inexplicably no mention of endorsements

[TDutchy]

Isn't Messi number 1? £250k per week? Think the list is outdated.
