The Great Escape: Gym-Dodging to Outrun the Hairdryer!…
Picture this: Manchester United players tiptoeing around Carrington like secret agents, dodging Sir Alex Ferguson and his feared “hairdryer treatment.” A former player has hilariously shared how the team maneuvered around the training ground, trying to escape the boss’s wrath after a bad game. Poor David Beckham once caught a boot to the face, so players decided to escape to the safety of… the gym!
Ex-Red Devils goalkeeper Ben Foster spilled the beans on the Breaking Beard podcast, revealing players’ Monday morning routines post-defeat. Forget the canteen—the gym was the cool hideaway! With the canteen close to Sir Alex’s lair, players sprinted towards the stair climbers rather than risk bumping into the boss. Imagine Foster and teammates incognito, sipping protein shakes and dodging eye contact with their gaffer!
While Sir Alex’s roaring ways etched themselves in football history, Foster wonders if such tactics would cut the mustard today. The ex-goalie had a laugh discussing how the gentle, nice-guy approach rules in today’s game. Yet, the legend of Sir Alex lives on, leaving us wondering if footballers will ever again hide beneath barbells to escape a legendary manager’s rebuke!
