How would that fit in with skiing, scuba diving, rock climbing etc. All things that can have a dramatic and immediate effect as opposed to smoking which will not normally effect people until mid 30s.

No idea. I just assumed that these days smoking would be considered A Bad Thing for sportsmen and athletes.

I have absolutely no idea what players have in their contracts, but I'd have thought sticking to a healthy lifestyle and not putting your body to unnecessary risk would feature somewhere? No idea if they could be specific about ***s, but I imagine they could argue that he's conducting himself in a way that is detrimental to him keeping his side of the bargain.

They could just put a clause saying the player can't consume anything the club haven't approved. The club then provides a list. If ***s isn't on it, then they can't have it.

Most footballers aren't allowed to ski or do any sports that could potentially harm them. That's why most footballers take up golf, a sport with a low risk of injury.

I just wasn't confident in saying that every single footballer across the world is banned from skiing. I just know it is common practice for the top teams to ensure their players cannot do activities like skiing where they could potentially injure themselves.

It is understandable really because imagine just after Pogba signs for £100m he breaks his leg skiing the following week. That's a hell of a loss for Man Utd with no way of recouping it really.

Was you old enough to watch football back in 2009/10 season?
Guess you never saw his Madrid team play either :emoticon-0100-smile

Because being in charge of Madrid is really comparable to his time in England <whistle>

Nothing wrong with being boring if you just want results <ok>
