West Brom striker Long relying on Coco Pops diet for scoring surge

The secret behind the success of West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long has been revealed: Coco Pops!

Long, 24, has binned the beans, pasta and steamed ­chicken in favour of the ­children's ­breakfast cereal.

His team-mate Jerome ­Thomas said: "He won't play a game before eating Coco Pops. Even when we are away from home, he brings his own box of Coco Pops to the games.

"I think that's where he gets the energy."
