Footballer IQ Award pt1

The modern footballer often gets labelled with the stereotype of not being the sharpest knife in the drawer...and in some cases just down right stupid.  There are the exceptions, Clarke Carlisle's appearance on Countdown and Philippe Senderos' mastery of 5 languages (although the mastery of positional sense, timing, tackling, kicking, heading, running, offside and anything vaguely football related still appears to elude him), but sometimes they do nothing to dispel the myths.

Today we will focus on one such event with a horror tackle from HSV's Paolo Guerrero...this is the height of stupidity because not only is it a truly terrible and dangerous tackle, but there is absolutely no need for it...the 'keeper (yes 'keeper) is going nowhere and there is still almost the whole of the second half to go, which HSV then have to play a man down.

Stupid boy!
