Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has revealed that he is enjoying studying for a maths degree in his spare time.
The 28-year-old is nearing the end of the second unit, with one more to go before he can add the academic achievement to his name.
"I've always liked maths so I thought, 'why not?'" Johnson told the club's official magazine. "I'm not setting any major targets, putting myself under loads of pressure to complete everything within a certain time.
"There's not a job in the world that maths can't help you with. The average person probably doesn't go through a single day without using it, whatever level you work at. I don't know what I'm going to do when I finish with football but I'm sure that maths is going to help."
Johnson also took up Spanish lessons earlier this year.
