THERE is a stereotype that footballers may not be the most intelligent members of society.
Then along comes Lamine Kone to challenge this theory.
The Sunderland centre half has enough medical knowledge and expertise to self-diagnose a back injury which means he can’t play in a very important game in two days’ time.
When Mr Kone hangs up his boots he’ll will be able to open a sports injuries clinic where his skills will come in handy for injured sports people.
