born with a silver spoon in his mouth

Frank Lampard
Graham Le Saux

Andrea Pirlo
Paolo Maldini
Kaka had a pretty good comfortable lifstyle in Brazil! His wife's family is loaded though.

Van der Emptiness (Leegte) is a hero!!!!!

Most English players come from working class backgrounds.

Except Frank Lampard who went to a Public School. Mind you Jodie Marsh and Richard Madeley went to this School so make your minds up on that. How do we know that Le Saux was brought up with riches? People only assume that because he is a Guandian reader as opposed to a Star or Sport reader.

Brazils Leonardo that does sterling work from the BBC was born into a wealthy family.

Michael Owen was a public Schoolboy I hear.

Sócrates and Raí?

Oh, and Sá Pinto, in my avatar!!!!

He was born in Guernsey to an upper middle class family - I remember seeing something about it on Fotball focus in his playing days
