"I got put in fat club" - Ex-Tottenham star Jamie O'Hara says he was sent to weight-loss camp after losing bleep test to goalkeeper
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has admitted he was sent to 'fat camp' after being beaten in a bleep test by a goalkeeper.
The retired playmaker undoubtedly possessed bundles of talent throughout his playing days but injuries badly curtailed a once-promising career.
Why does Jamie O’Hara say ‘We’ when talking about Tottenham?
He played 34 games in 7 seasons.
Played more games at Billericay Town ffs
On his show on TalkSPORT, O'Hara confessed to hating pre-season due to enjoying his summer break a bit too much. The ex-Portsmouth and Wolves star stated (per The Star):
“I hated pre-season, I hated it with a passion. Off-season is off-season, go away, enjoy yourself, put on a bit of weight, come back. Pre-season is to get fit."
“Now the players don’t work enough during the season and do a ‘pre-pre-season’ to come back fit. I’m like, ‘Just work harder in the season and relax when you’re off, mate. Enjoy yourself.' Pre-season is to get fit, these lads are staying fit.”
The presenter then added that he was beaten in a pre-season bleep test by goalkeeper Alan Julian, who was his team-mate at non-league Billericay Town. Jamie O'Hara explained:
“He was older than me as well. He was fit as a fiddle. It’s an unwritten rule, every footballer knows this; you can’t get beat by a goalkeeper in the fitness runs, it’s just unacceptable. Now, these keepers are fit.”
He added:
“Yeah, I got put in fat club. I had to come in an hour before everyone else for fat club.”
Jamie O’Hara: ‘Spurs are signing all these great players, while #Arsenal are going Eddie Nketiah Thierry Henry’s shirt.’
What great players? Bissouma, yes. But who else? Meanwhile, we’re close to Gabriel Jesus, Youri Tielemans and are in talks for Raphinha. Levels. #afc
Former Tottenham prodigy Jamie O'Hara admits to undergoing liposuction towards back-end of his career
The former central midfielder was once tipped to play for England but ended up playing non-league football at just 30 years of age.
In an interview with The Mirror in 2018, O'Hara admitted that he underwent a liposuction procedure due to his poor diet during his appearance on the reality TV show Big Brother. He said:
“Surgery went fine, everything still in place. I’ve struggled with self-esteem and body confidence. So today I’m getting vaser lipo, it’s something I’ve wanted for a while. After seeing pics of me on holiday I realized how out of shape I was. I’m using treatment to kickstart a healthy regime.”
O'Hara later added:
“Since Big Brother, my diet has been poor. I put on a lot of weight round my stomach. Vaser lipo is a light lipo to remove stubborn fat. Not saying this is the answer... I just wanted to try it and see the results.”
@talkSPORT @Mrjamieohara1 Nah can’t respect that bro….mocking and laughing about a young player, when he’s been given the chance he didn’t let the team down, what’s a bloody number….the man makes the suit the suit don’t make the man don’t forget that
