[Fitzcarraldo]

Isn't Yaya Toure on an obscene amount of money?

 

[Mellotron]

I would think Beckham would be miles out in front, as he's a full-time celebrity really, not a footballer.

[Austrian Gull]

Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Messi, Ibrahimavic, Eto, Lampard, Terry,

In order 5th, 3rd,18th, 1st, 16th, 13th, 8th, Terry not in - lost his ad deals, I imagine!

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Rio Ferdinand must be earning a fair wedge from all his extracurricular activities?

 

[Austrian Gull]

Cristiano Ronaldo

2nd - €27.5m

Ronaldinho? - Doesn't he have a few sponsorship deals going down.

Also Rio Ferdinand has his fingers in many pies, so to speak.

 

[ali jenkins]

Do they have to be current Footballers?

Raul?
Zidane?
Fat Ronaldo?
Figo?

 

[Mellotron]

I refuse to believe Beckham only makes that much from advertising. Is it only including advertising linked with footy?

 

[ali jenkins]

I reckon Donovan must be on a fair amount in the USA

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Steven Gerrard. His adidas deal must be worth $$$!

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

Kaka

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Thiery Henry
