    Didn't the Oldham guy who was abused at Liverpool recently get offered a place at Cambridge or am I mixing him up with someone else?

    Stewart Robson of Arsenal, not sure he had a degree but he went to Eton, I think, not too many footballers went there.

    Bradley Pritchard has a degree as does Matt Taylor
    Mikel Alonso has a degree in economics and has studied philosophy at masters level.

    Looks like CP does most his recruiting on the basis of academic attainment; I've heard we're getting Stephen Hawking in this transfer window.
    That boys got shocking communication though ...

    Steve Palmer has a degree in software engineering from Cambridge. He is believed to be the only footballer of the modern era to study at Cambridge. "It was a bit of a novelty for the media when I started but once you cross the line into professional sport you are judged on nothing but your performance," said Palmer. "My ability to study was perhaps due to the same attributes that allowed me to learn the game."........The Guardian

    Also, I think, the last person to have played first class cricket (for Cambridge Uni) and top flight football.
