The rises of footballers wages since 1953

If you were from 1953 , you would have fainted or have a heart attack when you heard the Cristiano Ronaldo is earning £288 per week. Jimmy Hill endorsed by Fulham for weekly £20 was a outrageous in 1953.It was a defining moment back then.In 1961, Fulham hired Jhonny Haynes for £100 a week.At the time there was disgust that footballers in this country could earn more than the miners slaving away at the coalface.Fulham's then chairman Tommy Trinder saw the publicity value of making his England midfielder the highest-paid player. Soon other clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool, having initially decided to stick to strict wage caps, followed suit

.

Then ,Manchester United hired George Best in 1968 for £1000 per week.Even though George Best was the first to break four figures at Manchester United in 1968, but the Italians struck back. In 1980 the Brazilian Falcao became the first player on £10,000 per week when he joined Roma. The Bosman ruling in 1995 then had a dramatic effect on wage increases. Power shifted from the clubs to players when it was decided in the European Court of Justice that players finishing their contract at a club were allowed to leave for free.Furthermore, moving forward to Sol Campbell moved from Tottenham to north London rivals Arsenal for nothing and became the first player to earn £100,000.There is something in joining a rival club – or at least threatening to. Following on from Baggio and Campbell, Carlos Tevez was the first to break £200,000 moving from Manchester United to City in 2009. Wayne Rooney trumped him by threatening to move across the city, too, and was the first on £250,000. 

Imagine yourself from 1953 , you would collapse by seeing the wages rises year by year.Furthermore, with the advertisement contrct and also competitive market the football player earning more.The wages of footballers will rise more.The big companies like Nike , addidas paying them fortune to advertise the products.
