Kylian Mbappe gives his money away

Getting an international call-up would have topped your income up quite significantly 30 years ago.

Average wage in the top flight in 1974 was £102 a week.
Obviously top earners would be on more. When Ardiles arrived in 1978 he was on more than £17k a year.
in 1980/81 only 8 players earned £50k a year.
So for the match fee in 74 when Revie took over to go up to £300, that's like the players now getting maybe £100k for an England match. A week's wages.

But this can't be right the mail running a positive story on a black player they're a racist publication according to a thread I read on here.

Footballers have always been paid for international appearances, haven't they?

Not that amount

Because its not in the interests of the press to report the good things thw England team do. Much easier to report Sterling as being flash by buying a house for his mother. Young man spending his money sensibly and generously is painted as a negative thing. So the fact the England players are giving away their match fees probably doesn't suit the narrative.
The press like to report on things that stir feelings of resentment and jealousy as it gets more interest.

The witch hunt against Sterling just before a major finals is typical of the UK press.

What a great gesture from the 19 year old.

So young yet so mature. Obviously very well brought up.
