Jaffa Cakes: Gonna Make You Sweat Now!
The August 2006 edition of Shoot Monthly reports that Steven Gerrard led the England squad in calories burned up in season competition at 91,000, the equivalent of running 32 marathons. Coming in behind were Frank Lampard and John Terry. The results came from a study commissioned by McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes, an official supplier of snacks to the national team.
No word yet on research by Ronaldo’s sponsor, PowerSauce Bars. Give credit where it’s due: he still broke Gerd Muller’s scoring record while apparently fuelled with old apple cores and shredded Chinese newspapers.
