    It was interesting the see that Abu Eisa was studying for a biomedical degree at Brunel University, presumably he saw the course out and passed.

    I remember that Wetherall had a chemistry degree, Johnny Mac was studying for a sports coaching degree, and Phil Parkinson has a sociology degree.

    Can we come up with a City Highly Educated XI, maybe some subs too.

    As opposed to myself, I once saw the course and passed out.

    Showing my age, what about the Jackson twins? Peter, Chartered Accountant and David, Chartered Architect, both would be CM these days plus David Fretwell, CD, think he was qualified at Accontancy but might be wrong.

    Didn't we loan you Oliver Gill? If so he turned down a pro deal at United to go and study economics at Uni

    Striker Roy Baker (played several games for us in the early 70s and scoring a few goals) was at Liverpool Uni with Steve Coppell. I forget which degree he studied; it may have been economics.

    I was at Liverpool Uni at the same time as Steve Coppell. Steve studied economic history, a good friend of mine was in his tutorial group.

    Stuart McCall has a BA in falling off of cars and not spilling a drop, I believe it should have been Masters Degree.
