Looks like footy is the game for the 'Toughs' and the Olympics for the 'Toffs'.
Half of Great Britain's medals came from just 7% of the population who are privately educated.
In contrast, the balance of professional football is that around 7% of players come from the private sector, which is an absolute mirror image of society.
Ken, look at this way - the Wayne Rooneys and Rio Ferdinands of this world will earn 10,000x more than their rich-by-birth, privately educated medal winning rivals.

Personally I don't care, one of my mates teaches sailing - his parents were solid middle-class, but he teaches working and non-working class boys. They may well be the olympians of 2020, who knows.
