    There is absolutely nothing heroic about any footballer from any team that is for sure!!

    Footballers are supposed to come from poor uneducated backgrounds but how many of the foreign players in our leagues speak several languages? I for one don't. If you are right about them being lacking in brains they at least have enough sense to take advice and have an agent looking after them.

    Gary Lineker learnt Spanish while he played in La Liga and I believe he had a stab at Japanese when he played out there.
