Top 7 innocuous things banned by football managers

Coke with ice

More Di Canio.

You may be the biggest cola company in the world and a popular beverage, but Di Canio took umbrage at his players having their glass of Coke with ice.

Reason: indigestion.

“If you have ice with coke you can have indigestion. I know players who’ve had ice with their coke the night before a game and then couldn’t play. Even coffee can be a problem. You can have one when you get up, but not an hour before you go out training or playing. We give the players diet sheets to follow.”
