Mikel Alonso has a degree in economics and has studied philosophy at masters level.
Looks like CP does most his recruiting on the basis of academic attainment; I've heard we're getting Stephen Hawking in this transfer window.0 -

Lawrie Madden had a degree, however I don't think it was in penalty taking

Steve Palmer has a degree in software engineering from Cambridge. He is believed to be the only footballer of the modern era to study at Cambridge. "It was a bit of a novelty for the media when I started but once you cross the line into professional sport you are judged on nothing but your performance," said Palmer. "My ability to study was perhaps due to the same attributes that allowed me to learn the game."........The Guardian
Also, I think, the last person to have played first class cricket (for Cambridge Uni) and top flight football.
