Kieran Trippier has opened up on the shock he experienced when ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino threw him in 'fat club' during pre-season in 2015.
The England international, who is now marshalling Newcastle towards a top four finish in the Premier League this season, arrived at White Hart Lane after a fruitful three-year spell at Burnley and found himself well below his new manager's standards.
'I went to holiday in Cancun, thought I came back in good nick, and next minute I'm in the fat club. I was in the altitude chamber,' Tripper revealed on The High Performance Podcast.
