Rise of the English Premier League
|
The English Premier League is not just world football's most watched domestic competition, year in year out it's perhaps the most watched tournament of any sport.
The league now pays its players an average of almost 2 million Australian dollars a year, and has a global audience in the hundreds of millions.
But go back not too far, 20 years or so, and things were very different.
