    To be fair to Tevez he didn't get a proper education, I doubt he was challenged intellectually all that much when he was young.

    Senderos has the face of a lobotomized orangutan that's had a 100% body shave. If he is only 50% as thick as he looks he would win hands down :p

    Jermaine Pennant couldn't read or write when he joined Arsenal. He sunk even further by having a tag on his ankle.

    I thought this thread was supposed to be about footballing brains, not IQs, common sense etc.

    It's evolved WY, unlike some of the players mentioned!
    Feel free to get it back on track, though.

    When he was born on 15 January 1983, fate seemed to have dealt Jermaine Lloyd Pennant a cruel hand. He's vague about his childhood, glossing over details, which is not uncommon when having experienced such hardship, but, he says, he's the eldest of four children. His mother died from cancer when he was three. Pennant helped to raise his siblings, two sisters and a brother, and faced shocking poverty. He didn't learn to read or write.

    How do you go from that to forgetting about Porsches?

  12. Jaap Stam was reputedly quite stupid.

    Mind you, would anyone credit Gazza with even half an active brain?

    So did I. I thought it was about who wasn't clever on the pitch rather than off it.

    Off the pitch - Wilshere, Carroll, Terry.

    When Reyes joined Arsenal back in the day i remember reading an article in the guardian (i think) about him. To sum it up in bullet points:
    1 - He was so stupid he couldn't properly speak spanish til his late teens
    2 - When he left Sevilla (at 20/21) he still had Sevilla bedspreads on his bedding.
    3 - His arrival in London was delayed a bit while his family organised somewhere to stay. His family wouldn't let him come on his own as they were genuinely worried he do something like jump in the Thames and kill himself by accident.

    He was forever known by me and some mates as "Thicky Reyes" after that. Never heard him speak a word of english in his time here unsurprisingly.

    Football brain as opposed to lifestyle.

    Why is everyone coming out with random off the field stuff?

  16. Beckham was quite thick.

    Remember when he was asked if he was going to have Brooklyn christened? He replied, "yeah, but I don't know into what religion!"
    <doh>

    What a thick twat!

    He came from a very poor background (and this is by South American standards, not Western European ones), to the point he used to only be able to refer to himself in third-person in interviews because that's how little education he had. Can you say similar to Jermaine Pennant, who couldn't read the contract Arsenal offered him?

    As for having a poor footballing brain, Rio Ferdinando is certainly one - he makes far too many mistakes when it comes to passing or positioning, let alone judgement, for somebody that's played at the top level for over a decade.

    Any of the Old Fashioned English Centre Forwards (i.e. Alan Shearer, Andy Carroll) - it's not exactly taxing to elbow opposition defenders at corners for 90 minutes...

  20. John Terry doesn't sound too clever.

    Obviously.
