Interesting read. You don't think about people having those kind of eating issues, certainly not at elite sport level.

Wonderful little article.
Unfortunately, now his opponents have worked out how to put him off of his game: just start singing "Bananas, in Pajamas!"

I've identified the root of the problem.
It's because his mother calls herself Sarndra & not Sandra.
Imagine how good he can be if he eats properly.

I could give him a run in the fussy stakes. Easily.
No way I'd succumb and be able to force myself to eat vegetables (outside roast potatoes) or salad (outside iceberg lettuce) even if I was an elite athlete.
What a folder and disgrace to our kind!
LOL.
Since I've been old enough to refuse eating vegetables the amount I would have consumed (outside roast potatoes, special fried rice or a hamburger pattie) would fit on a dinner plate at a guess.
And that's well over 30 years!
The rest of my family would eat normally and pretty healthily with good home made cooking but not little old swoop.
I will eat some fruit though and have no problems with lollies.
There are others out there like us rest assured.
Beware the fussy bum!

| Quote: | He has been likened to Steele Sidebottom in the way he moves, but is quicker than Sidebottom ["that's not hard" Broomhead joked, "but he runs that pace all day."] He is more inside than Sidebottom but both are dangerous with the ball near goal or delivering inside 50.
There is also a similarity in running gait, if not mercurial ability, to Peter Daicos and Alan Didak. He has the same longer torso and shorter legs, which gives him strength over the ball. |
Funny that. I've been calling Broomhead "mini-Steele" for ages....  ..
Is becoming one of my faves of the newbies 
He has | Quote: | | the same longer torso and shorter legs |
as the guys mentioned (including me). But, so has Grundy. No wonder they are best friends.

More Daics than Dids I think
