1 1. Frank Lampard
It is well known that Frank Lampard is intelligent and is currently the smartest football player in the world. The Chelsea legend is currently trying to help title rivals Manchester City win the Premier League. He is Chelsea’s all-time top scorer and has over 100 caps for England. As well as an incredible pedigree as a player, Lampard is also very intelligent off the pitch.
He has an IQ of 150, placing him in the richest 0.5% of the world’s population and at genius level. Albert Einstein had an IQ of 160 while William Shockley had an IQ of 129, to give some perspective. Lampard also has 12 GCSEs, all either A’s or A*’s, including an A* in Latin. Lampard will soon be able to impress the New York media when he crosses the Atlantic next season.
