    It's not true, he never won any medals, never really played in any organised games either

    In an interview when he arrived at Liverpool he said that he was ready for the physicality of the Premiership (yeah right!) as hed played Gaelic football which was much tougher and he was used to hard hits from that, even saying they should "wear crash helmets"

    Yeah the Socrates one is ridiculous, i've even heard it said he was the driving force behind a Sigerson cup triumph aswell?

    Never heard the German one before?

    It wasn't when he joined (June 2005 uefa.com) and he didn't relate it to his Liverpool career either

    The quote
    “I played Gaelic Football with some of the local boys. It was very different, very physical,” recalls Alonso. “It was great to come to a different country and different culture at that age. I was 15 and it was the first time I had ever left Spain.

    “I enjoyed the Gaelic Football and watched it on television too. It was very fast, very tough. Maybe they should wear crash helmets.”

    Ireland were the first team to agree to play Germany in a friendly after the WW and it has been suggested that is why Germany's second strip is green - complete nonesense but thats how it started.
