Most educated player

I wonder who in the league has the highest qualifications or do they all leave school early to focus on football.

It would be an ex (or current)-UCD player I'd imagine.

Slightly off the topic but former Leeds and Bradford (did he play for Wigan too?) defender David Weatherall has a first class honours degree in chemistry.

Jesus,you'd think it was the off season with all these stupid threads.

Clive Delaney is has a B Comm, a masters in accountancy and is a qualified chartered accountant. Don't think you can really get much more qualified than that, although I'm sure there's plenty of players with similar qualifications.

Unless there's someone knocking around with a PhD. I think McWalter has an MA in Geography. Someone told me he was doing one a while back.

Neil Horgan has finished his barr exams i think, so can now practice law.

Dr. Socrates.

Off topic here too, but hasn't Van Nistelrooy got a degree in accountancy.

He always looked like a boring sod.

Agreed 100%, if I wasn't a mod new blue would be on my ignore list.

Oh and look at stu saying you can't get more qualified than a chartered accountant, wonder what area you work in?

Well super hoop Tadgh Purcell got his degree from UCD recently in Botany

Also who is the Cork player with a law background?

Johnny McDonnell always came across as an educated kind of guy

**sonofstan** · 29/07/2007, 11:54 AM

Eamonn Zayed and Aidan O'Keefe both either have, or are heading towards, Law degrees, I think.

**DRDoc** · 29/07/2007, 11:56 AM

Yeah i read OKeefe saying that if he wasnt a footballer he would be a solicitor

**Dodge** · 29/07/2007, 12:42 PM

O'Keefe was a trainee solicitor when he played with us. Dunno if he's gone full time

Is he not a full time player at Drogs? If so I doubt he is a full time time solicitor
