There are some footballers who are really smart, who, in addition to being a footballer, have continued their education.   

For many years in a row, footballers have been contested for their intelligence, but in this case it is not in question.


Many of them have used their brains, doing schooling and have a different perception of what they will do with their lives after leaving football.

Take for example Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori, who earlier this year spoke about studying for a degree in business administration while invited from England.

"Football won't go on forever," he had wisely said in a press conference.

"When I retire or, God forbid, get injured, then I have something to work with."

And he is not the only one who has thought about a life after football.

SunSport brings you some of the footballers who have thought about what they will do after football.

FRANK LAMPARD

The Chelsea legend reportedly scored 150 on an IQ test.
