Footballers and their cars

It’s a sport where those at the very top are paid huge sums of money, but what do footballers do with their spare cash? As the typical Premier League footballer earns around £30,000 per weekend bigger names earning more than twice that amount, it’s likely that they’ll have plenty to splash out on a big house, outdoor swimming pool and perhaps a pad near the training ground.

Something else top players are likely to do with their wages is buy at least one flash car. As we’re used to seeing in the tabloids, many of the game’s biggest names are likely to have a luxury saloon, speedy coupe or, if they’re feeling really flush, a supercar. Here are five top cars owned by current and former players that we’d all love:

Ferrari F430 Spider – John Terry

John Terry

He’s got an enormous fleet of cars but Chelsea skipper John Terry will always find time to drive this surprisingly cheap £130,000 Spider. Many other players are likely to have one, but as he’s also got a Porsche 911 Turbo among his collection, he’ll always face a tricky dilemma over what to drive before going to the training ground.
