Top 7 innocuous things banned by football managers

Amongst the list of things that managers constantly prohibit players from indulging in are sex and binging the night before a match. Now while these are commonplace, there are other stranger things to have been banned. Here is a countdown of the top 6 things outlawed by managers starting with yesterday’s news about Leyton Orient banning the FIFA 14 video game. Word of special mention to Italian Paolo Di Canio, who recently got the boot from the Sunderland job, for making four distinguished appearances on this list.

Singing in the shower

A simple one to start with.

Singing out loud is said to alleviate stress and a bunch of players singing together can even promote bonhomie. But according to Di Canio, it also disturbs concentration and lambasted his players. He banned the practice.
