Nigel Winterburn: I wouldn't lick Lee Dixon's dog's face, no

Hi Nigel. Your PR man just emailed saying you’re “eating bear” with him. Do you often dine on endangered species?
Hi. Yeah, I like a bit of bear, or human flesh – I’m a vampire. I like to munch on the legs of Manchester United players, mainly.

He misspelt “eating here”, didn’t he?
He did. I actually can’t have anything exotic because I’ve got Crohn’s Disease. Adventurous dining doesn’t help the digestive system. The odd kebab, maybe.
