My parents bought me Gary Mabbut's autobiography to try and cheer me up when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. He wrote that just after he returned after his diagnosis, he was playing at Everton and someone threw a bag of sweets at him and shouted "eat those you spastic"
I remember Gazza picking up Mars bars thrown at him and eating em
Saw Gazza do this at the old Den when playing for England B (Paul Williams also in the squad/side). He picked it up, tore the wrapper off, received a pass in midfield, strode forward a few yards, took a bite and laid off a pass before taking another munch. The locals lapped it up.
