Remember this is just salary for playing. Nothing to do with sponsorships or endorsements or anything like that.

My brother trained with him. Good keeper from what I hear.

Started his career at Bayern Munich...Kahn's backup. Then went to Nottingham, then Australia...then ****in Canada.

Talk about an up and down career.

ANyway, was he good for your side?

I don't remember much of him to be honest......he was mainly a reserve keeper for us.......he recently made a brief appearance on the club's website stating he now plays in Brazil in the minor leagues and is the first Player to have played football in all Continents.

Another record breaker in the Forest books. Get in!

Not sure of the accuracy of some of these as Gerrard has a guaranteed 'highest earner' clause in his contract so does Torres earn more than him?

As for Kewell, he can **** off, he been paid about 1 mill per goal so far!!! No wonder we cant get rid of him.

Interesting Tuggers but not sure if it is at all accurate.
Spurs have a wage structure it was £40,000 pw but now it's £50,000 and Woody is the only one on that with Berbatov to join him.

Also last night on the radio on the liverpool game they were saying that Ibrahimovic is the highest earner in world football. Not sure if that includes sponsorship or just his salary.
