The Menu: Jill Scott

An instalment of The Menu with Manchester City and England midfielder Jill Scott, split around the Car Quiz with Everton’s Georgia Brougham. Scott cannot stand chocolate lime sweets, admits a weakness for white chocolate and a Caramac, and would choose pizza with a stuffed crust and cheesy garlic bread as her treat meal. Before a match she eats heavily the day before so she can go into the battle hungry, taking pasta, chicken and perhaps a yoghurt; at half-time it is an energy drink and a gel and maybe half a banana, and she sometimes wishes there were no half-time at all. Afterwards she manages orange juice, chicken and potatoes before a steak at home. Her speciality is a slow-cooker sausage casserole – though for team-mates she would order a delivery and pretend she cooked it – and she wants a plain sponge, cream and jam birthday cake.
