Yes our Jiri looks like a clever chap in that pose . . . not.

 

[Seasider78]

music/film producer extraordinaire Johnny Dixon

Clearly a very clever man, I am still at a loss to explain how someone who wears jumpers like this has Holly Valance on his dating CV

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Big Jurg Shirley?

 

[Codner's Wallop]

I always thought John Byrne came across as articulate and probably a bit too smart to be a footballer.

He is now a muscular skeletal podiatrist for the NHS by all accounts.

That’s some feet isn’t it (ahem]

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dodge was clearly one smart cookie. Worked as a commodity broker in the City of London and went on to be become head of the Albion's Commercial services. All that and a top bloke too

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The real competition would be the thickest person to play for BHA.....

 

[sydney]

mohalengo or trolley.

That he is and was going to be my nomination too. Spoken to him regarding an IT issue once when we covered their services before ESHT went in house..

'jumpers like this' - and a Seagull stuck on his head!

Eric Young - working as an accountant in a construction based company.

Wasn't Robert COdnor studying law or something during his time at the Albion?, amongst footballers certainly not a post playing career to be sniffed at

I gather he's a football agent, so maybe he failed the. Exams

 

[AZ Gull]

Peter Suddaby has to be up there - earned a BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics at the University of Swansea and then achieved his Certificate in Education at Oxford University's St Edmund Hall (all of which was 10 years before he joined Albion).

On the manager front, Steve Coppell has a degree in economic history from the University of Liverpool.

Someone once told me Robert Codner is/was a very clever man
I didn't really believe them but apparently he was pretty clever in financial circles back in the day

Steve Heighway gained a 2:1 in Economics & Politics from the University of Warwick in 1970, only spotted by pro club scouts at age 22.

It must’ve been a sandwich course, as he spent three weeks studying the criminal justice system at very close hand in 1993.

Sadly he obviously did one not so smart thing hence his sad departure from Albion job. Real shame as very nice approachable fella.

John Crumplin - Genius - official

 

[knocky1]

Garry also got an HNC in Business and the Chartered Institute of Marketing (post graduate level) professional qualification.

That explains where for GNT.
I have a PGCE in Economics and Business Studies never knew I followed your shadow in that field as well.

Locadia, managed to secure a lucrative contract for doing f'all, genius.
