Do any players still smoke in the modern game?

The most famous player outside from Norwich was Vialli & Marlboro Red!!By players i mean any Norwich City footballers??

I seem to remember it being reported that Mark Rivers did.

[Tubbs & Edward 0]

Very true. Rivvo went to grab my roll-up from me when taking a corner next to the snakepit! Ah, the good old days!

Lol(The 90''s).

I guess the team from the 1980''s were more likely??

[William Darby 0]

John Polston did If I remember correctly.  I remember also Greg Downs sucking on a massive cigar at the ground just before a game when he was not playing that day.

That would have been picture perfect.Ken Brown looked like a cigar man/Mike Walker-JPS?

My cousin lives in Paris, with her husband.  They went shopping one day and went to a big retail park.  They parked the car and were walking over to one of the shops, and walked past a big 4x4 with a cigar sticking out the window.  When they looked back they saw that it was Zinidene Zidane!  They aren''t football fans but knew who he was as he was like a french Beckham.  Amazing that such a great player like him smokes!

Not Norwich City, but interesting! [:P]

Ian Crook does , Kevin Drinkell did

Drinkell had the stare of a heavy drinker-Total legend.

This reminds me of the bad boy trio of Tim Sherwood,Chris Sutton & Ruel Fox.

Comedy nightclub antics.

Yes that''s right about Drinkell - I remember seeing him smoking in The Nest (the pub that used to be at Carrow Road) one weekday lunchtime. Didn''t seem to affect his goalscoring ability though! But I very much doubt many managers would openly allow it now, especially in the Premiership. If you''re getting paid £50,000 a week then you have a responsibility to keep your body in tip top condition and that makes smoking a big no no.

I remember hearing that Huckerby smokes. Although that is a completely unsubstantiated rumour I was told by er, I can''t remember.

Gazza and Sheringham were both seen ''smoking up'' at the infamous dentist chair incident.

Robert Prosinecki (former Croatia midfielder) got through about 40 a day apparently. As did Socrates (brazilian midfielder from 70''s).

I remember a tv interview with David Batty where smoke could be seen rising from the bottom of the screen where he was sat. He was trying to hide it from the camera by keeping it out of shot but obviosly forgot about the smoke.

[Ivana_rubyatitz 6]

Bristol Rovers have a full back called David Pipe, maybe he smokes? [:$]

Ankergren smokes... during games sometimes.

Was watching the cricket at Edgbaston last year and saw Matt Oakley and Paul Dickov smoking.

Hardly suprising really. I spent a few months working in Bulgaria, and found that it was more anti-social NOT to to smoke.
