HEALTH: Neil became a veggie at 13 for ethical reasons [PH]
By Sarah Barns
During the 2010 World Cup England footballers were put on a sex ban to improve their performance. Now vegan former player Neil Robinson thinks they should be put on a meat-free diet to help up their game.
“I think that the World Cup team would get great benefit from adopting this kind of diet.”
Rooney, Gerrard and co currently follow a diet rich in chicken, fish and pasta.
After moving to Swansea City FC in 1980, Neil extended his moral stance for animals by becoming vegan.
Neil was the first player to demonstrate that a vegan diet could be highly beneficial for professional football players at all levels.
He retired from professional football in 1990 and stayed vegetarian and then vegan throughout his entire professional playing career.
Neil will be appearing at VegfestUK London. See london.vegfest.co.uk.

Fantastic idea ❤
I was wondering if any football players followed a vegan diet? I am a LFBC fan so it is good that Neil comes from Liverpool, even though he played for the opposition. We need more sportsmen to endorse a vegan diet!

I completely agree! There are some American football players (the American version, lol) who are vegan, too. But that would be AMAZING if they all went vegan. A lot actually hunt during the off-season. 😦

That’s a great idea!!!! Since too many people looks at the sportsmen as idols… they could be an excellent example for everybody…

So true, Giovannoni Claudine. Sadly us “normal” folk aren’t taken seriously. It is the celebrities who are often the role models. Many are BAD role models when it comes to animal well being.
