Steve Nicol’s crisp eating habit: 'I ate 14 bags in one sitting'

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol revealed his β€˜dodgy diet’ to 5 live Breakfast.

Steve said: β€œI was known to have a rather dodgy diet as far as professional sportsmen are concerned, which consisted of a rather large amount of crisps. I did 14 bags in one sitting once – I only stopped because I ran out.”

Nicol won five Football League First Division titles, three FA Cup winners medals, and the 1984 European Cup during 14 years with Liverpool, but was always known for his unusual dietary approach.

β€œIt was a release for me after the game, sometimes you’ve got to look after your soul as well as your body,” added Nicol.
