Prem player reveals food query, future plans and favourite hobby

Yesterday, The Spoiler fervently defended David Bentley against The Sun’s claims he was a little ‘intelligently-impaired’, because it’s easy to forget that footballers are sheltered beasts. They have about one month off a year, and when they’re not having great sex with amazing-looking women, they’re training.

Hence, when a talented midfielder/striker naively approached a foxy friend of The Spoiler two weeks ago asking, “Do they eat roast dinners in London?” we didn’t guffaw so hard that champagne went everywhere, we understood.

And when the Newcastle man let slip that he wanted to leave for Everton, but Kevin Keegan was “charging too much”, no one so much as raised an eyebrow to his candid nature.

In fact, it was only when he said enjoys football “as a job”, and he’d much rather be out playing with his beloved quadbikes, that everyone finally started laughing and told him to stop.
