The stories are almost as tasty as the spreads. Not for the first time, Jonny Marsh, the chef to the Premier League stars, is rustling up a feast.
There’s the one about cooking for Paul Pogba at his birthday party in a Manchester hotel when a huge African band turned up mid-service and played so loud the walls shook.
Or the time Ilkay Gundogan challenged him and a friend to see who could eat the most McChicken Sandwiches in an hour for a pair of Yeezy trainers. Or having no idea who the Manchester City official was talking about when she rang him to say ‘a guy called Kevin’ wanted a chef for Christmas.
