Oleguer

[Dee]

is a left wing nationalist and writes for Catalan political journals...according to rumour he had declined to play for the national side when approached by the national coach Luis Aragonés

according to wikipedia..

On the 7th of February 2007, in an article written for Basque newspaper Berria, he questioned the validity and independence of legal and judicial processes in the Spanish state, using the example of ETA member Jose Ignacio de Juana Chaos and his hunger strike intended to question said processes. His decision to write the article brought veiled criticism from his coach Frank Rijkaard and Barça President Joan Laporta. As a direct result of this he lost his boot sponsorship with Spanish sports firm Kelme, that have links with the centre right Partido Popular Spanish opposition political party.

But in this country, you have to be a weaseld faced fvcker & a spinless cvnt, to enter politics.

So Gary Neville will fit in just about right.
