This.
ALL players are employees, suffering the full whack of PAYE and employees national insurance on their earnings. Any other arrangement would be criminal tax evasion by the clubs as employers.
A few players also earn from image rights and seemingly some, possibly in collusion with clubs, might have sought to run these through limited companies even though the club was paying. Tax authorities in the UK and Spain for example, have been investigating these cases.
That may be so now but as I said it wasnt in the 80s
