Spencer Prior and the sheep testicle

Wed Jan 20, 2021 3:52 am

When Spencer Prior signed for Cardiff from Manchester City in 2001 a bizarre clause was inserted in his contract that required him to have a "a physical liaison with a sheep and eat sheep's testicles".

Then Cardiff chairman Sam Hammam explained at the time: "It's simple. With Spencer being non-Welsh, he needs to prove to the people of Wales that he understands the place - then he can become a true leader."

There’s some weird clauses put into players contracts :lol:
