Which Premiership player can speak the language of a team-mate’s country even though that team-mate cannot speak the language himself?
is the language Irish?
Welsh maybe?
Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso spent a went to Irish classes when he spent Summer’s as a teenager in County Meath whilst teammate Steve Finnan although Limerick born, hasn’t a word of Irish as his family emigrated to Birmingham whilst he was a sprog.
Close enough with the wild Xabi Alonso guess. Ben Shermin is warmest though but I can’t see whatever picture Flano has.
hear about hargreaves speaking welsh but thats not meant to be true
Nothing to do with Hargreaves.

Correct - grew up in a Welsh speaking part of Patagonia. Giggs has no Welsh.
put the question out on betfair-someone answered that but someone else said it wasnt trye
And you believed them…?
yes
Only player to have played in a World Cup finals for two different countries?
Is it someone who played for West Germany and Germany like Mathaus or is it two distinct countries?
And it’s the finals tournament I presume, as opposed to the final itself?
Finals tournament.
Don’t want to get into the politicis of the other half of your query but it’s not Germany.
Some class of a Czecheslovakian from Italia 90? I’m thinking eastern bloc anyway.
Robert Prosinecki ?
That’s the one. 90 and 98.
I liked him a lot by the way. One of those old-school footballers who smoke and drank and bordered on being overweight.
Yeah he was a lovely player. Great touch and not much pace or anything but just sheer quality on the ball. That was a cracking midfield with Boban beside him.
Love this clip of Boban kicking the Yugoslav police:
