So those of you jokers that actually play football for a team..what ìs your routine for eating on match day?
my kick off's are usually 3 o clock so i religiously have a bowl of cereal when i get up. Then i'd make myself a small plate of pasta and have it bout 2 hours before ko and then a banana, yogurt and a couple of jaffa cakes washed down with a bottle of lucozade sport.. always buzzin around with energy before my match then.. |

usually play in the afternoon Gaz so would have a few bananas and jaffas myself. Another one I heard is sponge cake, Ruud Van Nistlerooy does this and tried it out myself, gives great energy, would defo recommend! (a good slice not a full cake!)
stay away from stuff like Orange juice as its sits in the stomach. Edited by The Count - 25 Oct 2008 at 5:28am |

For an afternoon KO, have a good kip. Then a Bowl of museli, grapes, orange, mars bar while sipping the Luco and banana before the warm up.
Should try and limit the dairy products, especially yogurts Gazsh - they can bring on cramps in the legs |

Giles and co used to have fry-ups in the morning and did them no harm
Vialli had 2 smokes at half time and did him no harm
Paul McGrath cant rememebr a lot of his games due to being pissed and did him no harm
