John Fashanu: I Earn N5 Million Monthly As Ex - England Player by iluvdonjazzy(op): 6:59am On Nov 22, 2019

A former England striker of Nigerian descent, John Fashanu has revealed that he still receives N5m monthly as pension from the English Football Association. The former Wimbledon striker who made this known on Tuesday in Abuja was explaining why it is becoming increasingly difficult to convince players with Nigerian roots to dump their adopted countries.

Saying Nigeria must put in place attractive welfare packages for all former players of the national team, Fashanu expressed support for players like Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori who have decided to play for England and not Nigeria, their country of origin.

“Till today, I still get my benefits, my pensions. I get N5m monthly as pensions for being an ex-footballer in England and I am now in my 50s.

“Tammy knows why he hasn’t played for the Super Eagles and it’s because there is more financial benefits playing for England, there is more glory and less wahala.

“Why do we ask the boy to play for Nigeria and torture him? We need to step up. Tammy is a massive miss for Nigeria. Nobody went to London to talk to him and explain to him the benefits of playing for his motherland.

“And when you hear what happened to Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha, did anybody come out to defend him over his tax bills, did anybody come out to defend Kanu when he had issues with his hotel,” he asked.

If Politicians who serves for 4yrs are entitled to pension why not the Sport persons? Indeed the Nigeria setup was always designed to favour the political class

I don't believe this fable.

Is Fashanu telling me that Paul Gascoigne who is impoverished receives 11k pounds monthly?

Note...Fashanu only played about 3-4 times for England...

Food for thought for our NFF...player welfare, palyer welfare.....

Though, with the amount of income the FA earns, essentially as the FA is a global brand in a way, that should not be surprising.

The players who end up broke are

1.Players with drug and alcohol issues like Gazza and Kenny Sansom

2.Players who make bad investment choices...like one ex england player who lost a lot of money thanks to some wuruwuru investment (name escapes me)
