It needs to be remembered; most (not all) footballers aren't Oppenheimer clones. I'm not saying they're thick as pig shit (others might!), but most will be of relatively average intelligence. Now; I think I read somewhere that academy lads (certainly at the bigger clubs) receive media training. Most will be able to take it on board, others won't. You tend not to see many as eloquent as, say, Nedum.
