These sort of threads always make me laugh. We all know that many footballers aren't the brightest tickets - Sean Newton asking where Ancona was in Spain when we played them in the Anglo-Italian cup springs to mind, but most assumptions on these things are based on how a player comes across in a TV interview - not the best time to judge someone. Most players are well out of their comfort zone in those situations and nerves can do funny things to the brain. Having said all of that, my current number 1 thicko' would be Gabriel Agbonlahor - and yes that is based soley on how he comesacross in interviews!!!!
[cite]Posted By: Kap10[/cite]Youga reads books that's pretty impressive for a footballer. Even more impresssive is a lot are in french!!!! :-)
According to sources withinthe club he knows how to use a mobile phone and can text in 3 languages - English, French & RU1986........the man is a genius.
Wasn't Lisbie who said something like he had was looking forward to the match in spain when we were in the Anglo/Italian cup? I'm sure someone on here could dig out the actual quote.

See if a footballer said that they would be "thick". Says up the page that it was Newton. : - )
I think that some people get a bit jealous of these young, fit, skillful, well paid guys and feel that they need to be "better" than them in some way so label them "thick" or should that be "thicker then me".
They are employed for their footballing skills and for their ability to play and react to situations instantly during a game.That is a key form of intelligence and maybe more useful than saying which of four squiggles is the odd one out. Certainly it is for their profession.
[cite]Posted By: Ru1986[/cite]Have any of you ever herd Bailey speak hes sounds like a girl but i dont think hes particually clever or stupid quiet funny to listen too though.
The thickest/most intelligent also who has no taste. Footballers are known for their lack of taste in all things material or is it that they have more money than the bitter jealous journalist?

I reckon sam could be a bit of a plank!
most i wud say dailey aswell
Mcleod doesn't strike me as having a great deal going on between his ears
I really hope this is an ironic post.
Though I suspect his ability to string together a sentence with correct spelling and punctuation would leave johhnybev standing.
Are you confusing education or maturity with intelligence.
Is it surprising that a 36 year ol like Dailly comes over better in interviews than a 21 year old.
Beckham and Rooney have both been labelled "thick" (well they have regional accents so they must be) but I'd have both in the Charlton team.
Funnily enough, although clearly not rocket scientists, I actuall think Beckham and Rooney come across reasonably well in interviews.
i fink u could be right
Does reading books or speaking more than one language make you intelligent then?

Sim.
Molto bene mi amici
For a footballer being able to tie yr own shoe laces is an indication of their level in the hierachy of intelligence
I refer you to post 10 in this thread............
