Q: Given Britain's success in the Olympics this year, the IOC ring you up to seek your advice. They want to have as many athletes as possible in London 2012 and have stumbled upon the idea of getting footballers and referees trained up for four years to compete. Who do you recommend to take part and in what events?
Jeff:
"In a new event called "Chase the Ref", Ashley Cole, John Terry, Wayne Rooney would surely be gold medal prospects. Ronaldo and Droghba for the synchronized diving. Crouch for the javelin, not taking part, just being a javelin. Paul Jewell for the high jump, probably a long time before 2012 though. Stoke City for down hill skiing. Oops sorry that's the winter Olympics. And Graham Poll for the archery, not taking part, just standing in front of the target..."
