I don't think I earned very much but it served a purpose.
It was £25 a game, less tax. So in an average month, there were generally 3/4 home games, which meant say a hundred quid extra in my bank account.
When we were put onto the payroll, each pay day was treat with nervous excitement just incase Alan Shearers pay had been put into my bank account by mistake.
It never happened unfortunately.
