After researching through how footballers professionalism has changed in football it is actually truely amazing.It all started as a part-time job and hobbie then it gradually changed to a full time job as the demand for the entertainment of the sport grew.But what amused me through my research was at half time footballers used to go back to the changing rooms and have a cheeky glass of whisky and a cigarette,before leaving for the second half.Also after the game they use to go to the local pubs and have a few drinks with the supporters and had fun with the young ladies.
Now in this day of era footballers have strict diets where they cant drink,at half time instead of whiskeys the have energy drinks and oranges,they also have to have fresh organic food and fruit,and alot more training and fitness sessions.Even there private life has changed as todays footballers have to try and stay out of the public media as this could go horribly wrong for the player and club.A good example recentley is the Wayne Rooney scenario on how his confidence and performances has changed due to the leaked stories of the affairs scandal.So through all the research it shows how obvious how the professionalism has changed throughout the years.
