BEER GIVEAWAY

Party at Pepe Reina’s house

Liverpool keeper takes delivery of a lot of booze

In a football world of psychoanalysis, dieticians and GPS player tracking, it is nice to hear of an initiative which rewards successful fat players and urges them to pile a few more pounds on. Brewer Cruzcampo, sponsor of the Spanish national football team, promised each member of the country’s Euro 2008 squad their weight in beer if they made it past the quarter-finals of the competition.

Since the players came home with the trophy, yesterday it was time for Cruzcampo to deliver on their promise. The players attended a special weigh-in to see exactly how much beer they were entitled to. And tipping the scales at 95kg, the heaviest player in the squad was Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina. Little Santi Cazorla received considerably less beer despite the fact he is more in need of fattening up than Reina.

The squad took home 5,200 bottles of beer in total.
