A former Premier League player leaked details of his contract at Manchester City 17 years ago.
Shaleum Logan came through the ranks at City, where his brother Carlos was a former trainee.
He then penned a first professional contract in 2007 and years later, Logan proceeded to release information on his social media.

Logan shared a picture of a letter from City's secretary Bernard Halford confirming his new deal.
At the time, City were managed by Stuart Pearce and languishing at the lower end of the Premier League table.
Dated 29 March 2007, the document said that between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2008 Logan would earn £450 per week.

But he would also be entitled to a number of appearance-related bonus. If selected in the first-team squad, he would receive £500 per game - and an additional £500 on top of that if he took to the pitch.
If he was handed a start, Logan would be paid a whopping £1,000 per game.
These bonuses were applicable to competitions like the Premier League and FA Cup.

Logan made his City debut in a League Cup tie with Bristol City and then featured in the next round against Norwich City.
His Premier League debut came in a 2-0 away loss to Portsmouth in February 2009, where he was handed a start at right-back and bagged that £1,000 appearance fee.
Logan shared his contract on X, with the caption, "Proof I’ve been getting this Saudi money since early" with a series of dollar signs and laugh emojis.

Logan did feature for City again after his three appearances and spent time on loan in the lower leagues before being released.
He later turned out for Brentford, Aberdeen, Hearts and Cove Rangers before retiring.
The 36-year-old now works as a rope access bolting technician.
