Nedum Onuoha
Nedum Onuoha is an English defender for the Queens Park Rangers and the number 9 smartest soccer player you didn’t know about.
From the start we see that he has a different view over football and can understand that it comes from school or from all the knowledge he gathered because he is a multi-task player who can play right back and left back even though his official sheet position is center back.
Few players have the ability to play different sides and places, which make him a little soccer smart as we like to consider.
But that is not the point we wanted to prove to you, we just wanted to show that smartness can affect your soccer skills.
Born in Nigeria, the defender was raised in Manchester where he went to Nelson Street Primary School Miles Platting and then he went to Hulme Grammar School, Oldham where he got eight grade ‘A’s’ and two ‘B’s’ at the General Certificate of Secondary Education.
Even though he was straight A student he didn’t leave sport on the side and achieved some medal and awards for 100 meters contest and triple jump.
He showed interest in the Manchester City squad and even went to the youth academy.
During this time he went to the Xaverian College in Manchester where he made his parents very proud.
He was the brightest student in the class and got the maximum points on three different subjects.
This A-level exams where the steps for his admission where he made the best impression taking all the exams and passing them with straight A’s.
So what’s next for the soccer player who is smart in business, IT and Mathematics, who knows?
