THEY are the beloved sporting icons who hold the nation's hopes in their hands – along with a handsome pay cheque.
Tonight the Three Lions will be hoping to seal a win against North Macedonia in the latest Euro qualifier – having beaten Malta 4-0 on Friday.
While England's national footballers undoubtedly make a fair wedge, not all of them are sitting on as big a fortune as you might believe.
Last month skipper Harry Kane was revealed to have a whopping net worth of £51million, up from £42m in 2022, according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
