There's a pretty clear perception and stereotype associated with professional footballers (but hey, this probably applies to any team sport that generally expects you to sacrifice school for practice by the time you're 16 and where your career earnings are in eight figures by the time you're 25). Many are thought to inhabit a continuum that spans from dull nights doing dull pedestrian things at home in front of a 128-inch screen, to wild nights out involving fast cars and overpriced toys, like riding in private jets or wearing bling-encrusted, limited edition kicks.
The cliche is that most are either unintelligent, uneducated or both.
