FYI. - Today, the basic FA contract as used by many lower tier clubs including part time is indeed a simple document albeit if the player is full time then there are a number of pages included to cover full time employment law etc. 

However, the premier league player contract is as a minimum, 28 pages. In addition to these pages, the terms and conditions of the contract form part of a number of collective agreements between the Club (through the League) and the Player (through the PFA) affecting the Player’s employment. Further provisions are included which are additional or supplemental (say, image rights, media responsibilities, international representation, transfer of contract, tax arrangements etc) to those set out as basic remuneration and can run to many pages. Finally, details are also included of the players representative, (agent) his/her eligibility and remuneration arrangements, ditto if the club also used an intermediary .

It is quite common for a Premier League player contract to run to more than 40 pages hence why a significant amount of time is spent by the players agent and the club in preparing the final version for the player to sign and witnessed (also by parent/guardian if the player is under 18) 
The contract is then registered with the English Football Association (The FA) and automatically aligned to the umbrella organisations namely UEFA & FIFA for rules regulations regarding transfers and international eligibility - to name a few. 

Speedway promotions  engage self employed riders via contracts which are in themselves straightforward and arguably are in preference to the promoters requirements rather than  that of the rider and in the UK solely governed by UK law, albeit the sport itself (rules regulations for meetings) is aligned on a global scale via the Speedway Control Board (SCB) to the Federation Internationale de lautomobile (FIM). 
  

oh I am sure today they are much more complex - particularly due to image rights and provision of services through companies etc, and now the sheer amounts of money involved. The ones I saw however to me hilariously basic even for those times given the values - players involved were on 5k or 10k per week.
