Nottingham-born Jenas, 38, confessed it was “crazy” and his mom and dad eventually had to step in.

Speaking on the Feast is Feast podcast, the former Newcastle and Tottenham midfielder said: “You couldn’t pay me to sit down and have dinner when I was a kid.

“I just want to go out and play football all the time.
