Players' Union This was the second attempt at the unionisation of professional football players after the failure of the Association Footballers' Union which dissolved itself in 1901. This Union was formed because the Football League had ratified a maximum wage for footballers in 1901 at £4 ("2012: £") . This severely limited the opportunity to earn wages that allowed the best players in the country to forgo the need to take paid employment outside of football. Until then, individual clubs had set their own wage policies throughout the country. The Union, basically, led from where the previous AFU had left the situation:
Ludo Lacroix to DJR Team Penske becoming the engineer on Scott McLaughlin's Ford FG X Falcon.

Lacroix began his career in 1988 in France, and afterwards had stints in British Touring Car Championship and DTM. He joined Triple Eight Racing in England in 1999. In 2002, Lacroix was the race engineer for Laurent Aïello in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. Aïello would go on to win seven races and the championship for Abt Sportsline in that season.
