Also- I'm not sure why people assume footballers don't want to play football (not taht you are, but it is implied in some other posts). I suspect the opposite is true. I quite like working between Xmas and New YEar as it all gets a bit samey otherwise, and I sit in an office for a living. These guys play football! I am sure it's a spectrum, but loads of them will no doubt be gutted.
