Cole Palmer: I’m not dumb but I didn’t listen to teachers who said have a Plan B | OneFootball

Chelsea’s attacking midfielder Cole Palmer has declared that he is not a dumb person, but he did not listen to one bit of advice from teachers at school.

And thankfully for us, he didn’t listen.

They told him to have a Plan B just in case he didn’t make it as a footballer. But look at him now, he certainly made it, well and truly.

EXCLUSIVE! Premier League club make enquiry to sign Chelsea player that could lead to swap deal seeing striker going the other way!!

Palmer has gone from strength to strength as a football player in the last couple of seasons, not only becoming THE main Chelsea talisman, but he’s also become a full England senior international and he is now doing big features for GQ Magazine, as well as being used a marketing tool for major fashion brand Burberry.

Off the back of all of this, he has just done one of those quirky interviews with The Telegraph this week, you know the ones – talking about random stuff etc and making it all ‘out there’ as such!

Palmer is not dumb

Palmer is certainly not dumb on the ball!

Palmer is often the source of memes due to how he reacts in interviews sometimes, looking a bit vacant. But this is just him, he’s a super laid back person and this is just how he comes across. But Palmer insists he is not dumb.

“Common sense, I’ve got loads of it,” he declares in the interview with The Telegraph, triumphantly. “To everyone who says I’m dumb, I’m not.”

But he didn’t listen to his teachers when they told him to have a Plan B, and fair play to him for that!

As it further explains in the interview, at Gatley Primary School in Cheadle, every child leaving in 2013 had to sign an “aspirations book”, completing the sentence, “One day I’ll be…” Palmer, having been on City’s books from the age of six, wrote: “A footballer.” Even once he graduated to the private St Bede’s College, his tuition paid for by City, this resolve never wavered. “Teachers always tell you to get a plan B,” he says. “But I didn’t listen.”
