Hits The Bar As the new season approaches players must prepare themselves for the rigours of a long season - and Lee Peacock is no different. A source close to the club has given us an exclusive insight into our new number 10's preparations: "As a professional footballer it is inevitable that over the long summer break Lee gets out of peak condition." our source revealed. "To address this perennial problem he usually reintroduces himself to his strict regime in early July. Nothing too strenuous at first, just a small bottled lager with his meal or perhaps a couple of glasses of Bacardi Breezer in the evening. Slowly he introduces more alcohol into his day - perhaps the odd bout of lunchtime drinking, the occasional tequila slammer session with a few close friends. "By the time August is upon us Lee always hopes to be nearing his maximum. This sort of conditioning does not come overnight. Only by dedicating himself wholeheartedly to the vast array of alcoholic beverages available can he hope to be at the stage he achieved last season, where sitting on a standard piece of furniture proved beyond him. "I don’t know if this is a level Lee can attain again this year, but he would like to let all City fans know that it will not be for the want of trying."
'Peacock gets in some practice with friends' The insider added: "Lee would be the first to admit that last season he 'dipped' a bit just after Christmas. He would never say anything himself as he's far too professional, but that drop in his intake was due in no small part to a very nasty mouth ulcer he picked up around New Year which made drinking alcohol almost impossible for a period of two or three weeks. "Obviously you need a bit of luck to avoid a recurrence of incidents such as that, but if Lee can remain 'injury' free for the remainder of the season then who knows what he is capable of imbibing. It's an exciting time for Lee, and I'm sure I echo all City fans when I wish him luck in spending the entire season in an alcohol-induced haze." |
