Jack Wilshere has revealed Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a bizarre training ground rule - banning players from sitting on footballs.
The Toon announced the former Bournemouth boss as Steve Bruce's replacement on Monday night - signing a three year deal at St James' Park in his first job since August 2020.
Speaking about strict managers, ex-Bournemouth midfielder Wilshere told talkSPORT: “I've had a few managers like that…
“Eddie Howe was like that, wouldn't let you sit on a football."
When asked why, Wilshere replied: “I don't know really…
"I remember my first day I sat on a ball and the lads were like 'get up, get up, get up!'
“I was like, 'why?' and they were like, 'you're not allowed to!'"
