Nutrition plays a bigger part in sport than ever before, with sportsmen and women no longer able to eat pies, down pints of lager and smoke fags before they take to the pitch, or track, or court and so on.

Super striker Daniel Sturridge certainly looks pleased with the deal – though it’s not been confirmed if boss Brendan Rogers will let him him get a cookie as part of his lunchtime meal deal.
