I have just seen that the PM is trying to think of a fitting way to thank our football players for their efforts in the recent matches (other than a bank holiday). Am I wrong/the only one thinking that these men are paid outstanding salaries anyway to 'play a game they enjoy'. Playing well also no doubt gives them individually the chance to be bought for huge sums by teams who will pay them equally huge salaries. However, there are people out there saving lives, doing medical research to name just a few careers, but who earn nothing like a footballer, yet I don't recall much 'thanks' being considered that will be heading their way....
