The AFU managed to persuade the Football Association and the Football League not to introduce maximum wages. When Liverpool won the First division championship in the 1900-01 season their players were on £7, which with bonuses could reach £10. The Football Association passed a rule at its AGM that set the maximum wage of professional footballers playing in the Football League at £4 a week. It also abolished the paying of all bonuses to players. This new rule was brought in at the beginning of the 1901-02 season. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Fwages.htm

Practice for non professional players is not as reguated as that of professional players. It varies, depending on the quality and reputation of the academy/club they play for. The higher rated academies ensure 5-6 hours of practice for their players but otherwise it is much lesser than Pro Footballers.
It really does depend on the players calibare. The better you are as a player and the more known you are to the public the more you earn.
Yes soccer players are paid very highly, it has gone over the roof .
depends on how good they are.
