I don't know what players eat for breakfast nowadays - probably grilled vitamin pills and 4 litres of carrot juice - but back in more normal times, they ate much as we did.

Got this breakfast menu from a guy in Blackpool who served the bacon, egg, kippers etc up to the Rams squad prior to their game there in February '71. He had the good sense to get the squad to autograph the back of one Smile

I asked him why Brian Clough's signature wasn't there........"he insisted on breakfast in bed!" was his reply.
Possibly apocryphal - but I liked it Thumbs Up

Of course, it would help if I put the correct year against it! Had a press photo from the '69 game in front of me at the same time I posted the menu...but the menu is from the game at Blackpool in Feb '71.

I'm male - I can't multitask Smile
