English footballers that can speak another language.

[velimski]

I always find this kind of thing quite interesting and today I learned that Lucy Bronze speaks Portuguese. It lead me down a bit of rabbit hole and I found a video of Roy Hodgson speaking Swedish, German, French and Italian.



There's Eric Dier who is fluent in Portuguese too.

Owen Hargreaves and German. Can kind of understand that one as he was at Bayern for a while.

I'll Christian Vieri to the discussion too. Obviously not English but worth a mention because he grew up in Australia and used to have a real aussie twang when speaking English.

Any other surprising ones?

Was rather surprised that our very own Jack Harrison spoke Spanish.

From the Carlos Alcaraz thread.

[velimski]

Yes. Not sure how I forgot that as I saw the video a few days ago.

[Shogun]

I wonder why he speaks Spanish? Just because of the Bielsa period at Leeds?

Didn't he grow up playing football in the US?

His wife is Spanish.
