Yeah, I agree about Barton but that was why I didn't include him. In terms of intelligent footballers (in the non-footballing sense) I think Freidel's pretty together and for whatever reason Kompany always strikes me as having something between his ears. Lampard's apparently got a 'genius' level IQ but a lot there depends on how intelligent you think having a high IQ makes someone.
I've read snippets of the Secret Footballer but it never left an impression. I should read more.
