Steve McClaren`s time in Wolfsburg was pretty funny.

He promised the players/fans that he would learn the language but after 6 months in the country all he could say was "wunderbar".

I don`t think any Bundesliga club will bother themselves with an English manager in the foreseeable future.

Thankyou Carmen : we now can name one (1) English player who was able to learn another language whilst abroad.

Any others or is it just MacManaman ?

Wasn't Woodgate pretty fluent in Spanish? He did have alot of time on his hands to be fair.

Michael Robinson became a pundit on Spanish TV.

Woodgate wasn`t able to talk to Spanish media in Spanish - just in English.

Fluent is a world away methinks

tbf English is a generic language

By:

tbf, toshack didn't go over as a player, and his spanish is okay but not exactly stellar given the amount of time he was over there.

that was one of the reasons david platt kept going for big money in italy; he learnt the language and fitted in quickly.

...in fact, the first clip i found of him speaking spanish was on a football chat show where everyone including him was having a laugh about how p!ss-poor he was at it.

michael robinson however is properly fluent

not brilliant, but fair play to the guy - he at least learnt enough to a) do it in spanish and b) apologise for not being very good.

Gary Lineker.
By:

When: 13 Mar 13 19:07
thanks Viva, I`d never heard of him.

Keegan`s deutsch is really bad so can`t put him on the list although he is at least trying so fair play.

Lineker seems to have basic Spanish with a really broad accent, yeah count him in. We have three (3) now.
