Was just on the horse racing forum and recounted a time when I was at Newmarket on Champions Day and saw Richard Hughes about 40 mins before he was due to ride, paddock side chuffing on a cigarette - consummate professional obviously.

Are there any footy players who have demonstrated an equally inept preparation in chuffage pre kick off?

I think it was quite prominent on the continent. Socrates was a big smoker I believe and didn't Rooney and Ashley Cole both get snapped having a crafty ****?
