Moo-Lolly-Bar's chocolate incentive for English Premier League Striker

Offering chocolate as an incentive to children is not a new phenomenon. However offering chocolate, to an English Premier League footballer, as an incentive for scoring goals, might raise an eyebrow or too. But that is exactly what Moo-Lolly-Bar has done to West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie.

He has only been at West Bromwich Albion for less than a season but Peter Odemwingie is already a cult hero. Only the second ever Albion player, and the first since Robert Earnshaw in 2004 to score 10 Premier League goals in a season, his goal scoring exploits have seen him quickly establish himself as a firm fans favourite. However with his team embroiled in a tough relegation battle more goals are required from the ace marksman. Hence Moo-Lolly-Bar's incentive.

As a massive West Bromwich Albion fan I, as represented by Moo-Lolly-Bar, have challenged Odemwingie via Twitter, to score at least another 5 goals in the remaining 8 games of the Premier League season. His reward for doing so will be a hamper full of Australian Chocolates. It is a challenge Odemwingie was more than willing to take. Whilst confirming 'another 5 (goals) is the target' he had set himself he also confirmed his acceptance of the challenge by saying 'I love chocolate! That's a deal!'

We are not sure if the Nigerian International who represented his country in the 2010 FIFA World Cup has ever eaten them before but a hamper full of Cherry Ripe, Chokito, Milo Bars, Mint Patties, Golden Rough, Violet Crumble and other such Australian goodies is packed and ready for dispatch to B71.

Moo-Lolly-Bar also suggested Odemwingie pretend to eat chocolate when celebrating any future goals he might score this season. Whether or not he remembers to do that remains to be seen. But I for one will definitely be watching with interest.
