Drink a Lot of Coke - Become Obese Buy Your Club a Football Player

By: Nick | March 9th, 2007

coke5.jpg By gulping copious amounts of sugary goodness - you too could have a tuxedo like this, and perhaps more bizarrely earn your favorite Football League club a brand new star player (you could then give him the tux to wear at team functions).

It’s all part of Coca Cola’s rather unique ‘Buy a Player‘ competition where fans have the opportunity to earn 10 million quid for the clubs’ transfer kitties. That’s not pocket change in the Football League.

All fans have to do is drink plenty of Coke products (naturally) then find the special codes on the packaging to see how much they’ve earned. They can then keep adding to the total whilst increasing their visits to the urinal. I’m guessing “pee for your club” was rejected as a slogan by the marketing department.

Of course with the impressive sum available to win - it’s no surprise that the clubs themselves tend to get fully behind the whole venture. One fan has already raised over 250 thousand pounds for Hull City! I’m guessing he’s not a big Pepsi fan…
