Submitted by JSB on Mon, 28/12/2009 - 13:48
In the nine years this table covers, Premier League footballers saw their earnings increase by a multiple of five. Notes: All figures are in £ million. Estimates include National Insurance contributions but exclude 'salary sacrifices' (amounts paid to players' pension funds) and so do not represent the total players' wage bill borne by clubs.
