FORMER ENGLAND PLAYER JEFF PROBYN WITH INTERVIEWER 13. (SOUNDBITE) (English) PROBYN SAYING "Every one of those players has tremendous pride in playing for their country. They'ld do it tomorrow for nothing. If it became part of the package that you don't get paid for playing for England, they would still put their bodies on the line and play for England because they believe in the country concept. But we do live in a professional era. The facts are that players do get paid. In playing for their country -- every country in the world virtually now pays their players to do it and it's just a matter of balancing the amount of money that the country can afford and that the game can afford to the requirements of players" BAGSHOT, ENGLAND, UK (NOVEMBER 22, 2000) (ITN - NO ACCESS BBC, BSkyB, ABC-Australia, TVNZ, .CO.UK Internet sites) 14.
