It might seem ridiculous to compare full time, pro football to amateur players but the basics are the same as is the physical effort. I used to come off the pitch, unable to walk some days after playing 90 mins and would joke with my mates that they can't have given their all if they could play another game at the weeekend.
I think to compare amateur football - and I hope your amateur career was more glittering than mine was for 90% of it - to professional football is like comparing apples and dish washers.

The physical, mental and emotional output is wildly different.
