- Leroy Loggins, basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets after 1986 semi-final

"It used to be standard practice that the pre-match meal consisted of egg, steak and chicken. But I talked them into changing to complex carbohydrates. So now they will sup on porridge, pasta or rice."
- Craig Johnston, Liverpool Football Club, 1989

"The more glycogen, the further and faster the player ran"
- Kirkendall (Effects of Nutrition on Performance in Soccer)
