Report: Which Footballer Should You Choose For Your Personalised Video Message?

You’ve got to pity those poor footballers; the jet-set lifestyle, the fleet of £million cars in the garage, the bevy of babes on the arms, the drinks in Dubai. There’s just got to be a way to make an extra buck to make sure the Porsche is running on a full tank, isn’t there?!

Of course, we’re generalising here. Arguably some of the most beloved footballers are those that entertained before the TV deals and globalisation rolled in, before the real cheddar that has come to dominate football today.

Enter : celebrity video shoutouts.

With a platform such as Cameo - which in 2021 earned itself a $1billion valuation - those well-known faces will record a personalised message submitted by the adoring fan, for a fee of course. Subscribers (the content creators) buy a one-off service, Cameo takes 25%, the rest goes to the creator. The same applies to rival site Memmo.

Across Cameo and Memmo, BettingOdds.com has calculated that there are over 300 figures from the world of football plying their trade for that extra bit of pocket money. Some are still even playing (hello there Thiago Silva!). And some you won’t have heard of, some you most definitely will have!

BettingOdds.com has now created a list of the most expensive football figures you can find on these sites, and also provided a definitive ranking based on popularity, rating and best value.
