Has anyone noticed any footballers who might be on the spectrum?

i have strong feeling that Zidane is, has anyone seen his film, where they just film his face and body for 90 mins while hes playing....facinating, he was deffinatly hyperfocused and very intuitve and not communcative at all. another guy who seems to be is Andrei Arshavin i think hes so cool and outspoken.

"Squad" cards and fantasy football leagues.
Boys would just sit around and swap cards when I was younger.
They'd talk about football all day.

Social preoccupations with a narrow topic?
I think so.

Sort of like team based Pokemon with photos of people on the cards instead of mythical creatures.

I like soccer. I was in England for the last World Cup and watched every game I could. It was more than a game. And it's one of the few sports I've actually played, but not well. Still, I much prefer American football with its intense mental aspects (I love X's and O's) and, yes, its violence. One of my obsessions is single-wing football. Buck lateral, anyone? Or, how about a fullback spinner, which Arkansas reinvented and the Miami Dolphins were unsuccessful at, to say the least. I watched a Canadian game with a poorly-designed quarterback spinner with a handoff to a wingback.
