The United Kingdom’s National Health Service has just completed a survey of 25,000 football fans from around England.
The questions related to fitness, eating and alcohol consumption. At the end of the survey they compiled a league table of the results. Fulham are the unhealthiest fans in the EPL with 49% of fans overweight. 37% percent of their fans were found to be exceeding the daily recommended allowance of alcohol. To add to their woes Fulham also topped the London smoking league, with 33% percent of fans liking a cigarette.
Surprisingly Spurs fans are the healthiest, although not surprsingly when you look at their form until Harry Redknapp arrived at White Hart Lane, 85% of Tottenham fans drink over the daily limit. The good news is though that 77% percent of Spurs fans are non-smokers.
The League table ran as follows:
1. Tottenham Hotspur
2. Wolves
3. West Brom
4. Aston Villa
5. Manchester City
6. Blackburn Rovers
7. Manchester United
8. Arsenal
9. Birmingham City
10. Stoke City
11. Wigan Athletic
12. Chelsea
13. Sunderland
14. Blackpool
15. Newcastle
16. West Ham
17. Liverpool
18. Everton
19. Bolton
20. Fulham
Good to see both Liverpool sides down the bottom of this table as well!
Funny how the midlands teams fans are the healthiest!
