Well depends on the player and the club really, but the Professional Footballers' Association survey in April 2007 found that the average annual salary of a Premiership player was £676,000 - £13,000 a week. The accountancy firm Deloitte puts the figure much higher.

There is an e-mail doing the rounds which shows a picture of John Arne Riise's payslip. He gets basic £120,000 with a £15384 (Champions League final bonus) plus appearance fees per week!!! Not bad for a player with one foot!!!
