Park Life 71 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) "Pictured lolling in a swimming pool during his honeymoon in June, Wayne Rooney looked like many young Englishmen abroad: high-street Bermudas, lobster tan, can of fizz, cigarette. This Englishman is, however, the country's most talented footballer, and the cigarette caused a rumpus. Pundits grumbled their disappointment and anticipated the hairdryer treatment from his manager. Other commentators - the smokers, at a guess - came to Rooney's defence. There was little agreement on how the occasional stick might affect his football." "In the past 18 months, footballer Dimitar Berbatov, tennis player David Ferrer and champion jockey Seb Sanders have all come out (or been outed) as smokers. 'To some extent you can overcome smoking's adverse effects by heavy training,' says Professor Martin Jarvis, a clinical psychologist at UCL who is an expert on smoking. 'The nasty things from tobacco smoke are not going to impact immediately on your capacity to run, jump and so on..." Smokers of the world unite and take over. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/07/...ing_desire.html Edited July 27, 2008 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 First comment on that page. CumberlandSausage July 27, 2008 1:14 AM Bristol/gbr We need more smoking sportstars. And more beards in sport too. Ideally the two would go together. I seem to have a memory of Vialli turning up to his Chelsea press conference with 40 Marlboro Lights. The question is... are there any crap players who smoke? Is there perhaos a chance that the very best players do smoke. Cruyff, Maradona, Garrincha, Charlton, Best etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Has anyone saw that advert that Cruyff done about kicking the tabs? It's absolutely class, how he's doing keepy ups with a box of tabs in this huge mack. What a guy. 02:43 on that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
